Description : Python bindings for the LZMA compression library.
LZMA, short for Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm, is a data compression
algorithm in development since 2001 and used in the 7z format of the
7-Zip archiver. It uses a dictionary compression scheme somewhat similar
to LZ77 and features a high compression ratio (generally higher than
bzip2) and a variable compression-dictionary size (up to 1 GB).
LZMA uses an improved LZ77 compression algorithm, backed by a range
coder. Streams for data, repeated-sequence size and repeated-sequence
location seem to be compressed separately.
This package has python bindings for the LZMA compression library. The
features include:
- Compression / decompression of a single block of data
- Compression from a file-like object (must provide a read method)
- Streaming decompression through multiple calls to decompress
- An initial library that supports reading of 7-zip archives (both
solid and non-solid)
