Allow for any bytes-like objects as input (e.g. memoryview)

[llchan]

It would be beneficial to be able to pass in a buffer/memoryview without making a bytes copy. I think it would just involve using a different format string to the func arg parser (maybe y* if I'm reading this right?).

Yes, I think you might be right about y* (s* in Python v2). I'll have a look later this week.

@llchan - What's on the dev-contrib branch should hopefully do what you want (for (de)compress and (de)compress_update methods). Would you mind trying it out? If it works as you expect I can make a minor release with it.

[llchan]

Looks like it's working :)

Appreciate the quick turnaround!

[vtermanis]

Will be included in next release (at some point in near future).
