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 → bytes
BytesIO → bytes
BytesIO, BytesIO → None
bytes, BytesIO → None

The BytesIO-based functions are slightly (about 15%) faster due to avoiding a copy of the contents on bytes⇄std::string conversion.
