* Package name : python-pylzma Version : 0.3.0 Upstream Author :Joachim Bauch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.joachim-bauch.de/projects/python/pylzma/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C, C++, Python Description : Python bindings for the LZMA compression library. LZMA, short for Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm, is a data compression algorithm in development since 2001 and used in the 7z format of the 7-Zip archiver. It uses a dictionary compression scheme somewhat similar to LZ77 and features a high compression ratio (generally higher than bzip2) and a variable compression-dictionary size (up to 1 GB). LZMA uses an improved LZ77 compression algorithm, backed by a range coder. Streams for data, repeated-sequence size and repeated-sequence location seem to be compressed separately. This package has python bindings for the LZMA compression library. The features include: - Compression / decompression of a single block of data - Compression from a file-like object (must provide a read method) - Streaming decompression through multiple calls to decompress - An initial library that supports reading of 7-zip archives (both solid and non-solid) - -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (700, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFbtSZ4eu+pR04mIcRAlszAJ0eJ+nFDgWh8/EraIlLjl8HEWm9rgCfZ4t7 cXWweLZ9jZA7/2iMdzS5Y88= =7X18 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
