✨ python-bz3 ✨

The python binding for bzip3 with parallel support

install

pip install bzip3

Usage

from bz3 import compress_file, decompress_file, test_file, compress, decompress
import bz3

with open("test_inp.txt", "rb") as inp, open("compressed.bz3", "wb") as out:
    compress_file(inp, out, 1000 * 1000)

with open("compressed.bz3", "rb") as inp:
    test_file(inp, True)    

with open("compressed.bz3", "rb") as inp, open("output.txt", "wb") as out:
    decompress_file(inp, out)

print(decompress(compress(b"12121")))

with bz3.open("test.bz3", "wt", encoding="utf-8", num_threads=4) as f:
    f.write("test data")

with bz3.open("test.bz3", "rt", encoding="utf-8", num_threads=4) as f:
    print(f.read())

• use BZ3_USE_CFFI env var to specify a backend
• num_threads is only available on cython backend which have openmp support

# High-level api
# Compress a block of data into out buffer, zerocopy, both parameters accept objects which implements buffer-protocol.
# out must be writabel, size of out must be at least equal to bound(len(inp))

# Decompress a block of data into out buffer, zerocopy

• Note, high-level api won't work with low-level api, see this
