  1. py-LZO is a Python module that interface with the LZO library.
  2. LZO is a data compression library which is suitable for data
  3. de-/compression in real-time. This means it favours speed over
  4. compression ratio.
  5. LZO implements a number of algorithms with the following features:
  6. + Decompression is simple and *very* fast.
  7. + Requires no memory for decompression.
  8. + Compression is pretty fast.
  9. + Requires 64 kB of memory for compression.
  10. + Allows you to dial up extra compression at a speed cost in the
  11. compressor. The speed of the decompressor is not reduced.
  12. + Includes compression levels for generating pre-compressed data
  13. which achieve a quite competitive compression ratio.
  14. + There is also a compression level which needs only 8 kB for
  15. compression.
  16. + Algorithm is thread safe.
  17. + Algorithm is lossless.
