Xiang Zhang added the comment: If you don't want to manually parse it, the lib has to. Currently, bz2 delegates all the raw data parsing (compression/decompression) to the underlying C library. Unfortunately the bzip2 library doesn't expose the header info which means to get compression level, we have to do some raw data parsing in the lib.
Actually I wonder if it's worth though this seems not hard to implement. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter, xiang.zhang _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27450> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
