ncompress 
LZW compression and decompression in Python and C++.
Ported with minimal changes from the (N)compress CLI tool.
Installation
Wheels are available for Python 3.8+ and all operating systems on PyPI.
pip install ncompress
Usage
Functions compress() and decompress() are available with the following inputs/outputs:
bytes→bytesBytesIO→bytesBytesIO,BytesIO→Nonebytes,BytesIO→None
The BytesIO-based functions are slightly (about 15%) faster due to avoiding a copy of the contents on bytes⇄std::string conversion.
