Hi, I've just pushed a new package of bcolz (https://github.com/Blosc/bcolz) to a new team repo (packages/bcolz.git), the ITP is https://bugs.debian.org/831408.
bcolz is a chunked compressed data container build on the top of Numpy, which can be used either on disk but also in-memory. For compression it uses blosc (c-blosc). I would say it belongs to Numerical Computation task, where Numpy is. The package builds and works all right but can't go in right now because it temporarily (#834318) builds with the vendored blosc + sublibraries (e.g. lots of copyright entries missing).
