lazperf Python support

[hobu]

A note that I have implemented some lazperf Python support that you guys might find useful.

https://github.com/hobu/laz-perf/tree/master/python

It is not supporting LAZ at the moment, but that is something I hope to do in the near future.

Thanks @hobu!

Look at README – lopocs already uses the lazperf Python module :)

Curious to understand your comment "It is not supporting LAZ" at the moment. What did you mean exactly?

LAZ != lazperf.

LAZ is the LAZ format itself, not simple compression of individual fields. That said, I did implement support in the lazperf Python bindings to be able to read LAZ data if you give it the VLR that defines the dimensions arrangement. See my note in the laspy repo.
