lzallright - Python bindings for LZOKAY compression

0.2.6 verified Sat May 09 auth: no python

A Python 3.8+ binding for the LZ👌(lzokay) compression library, providing compress and decompress functions with optional compression level. Version 0.2.6 adds experimental free-threading (nogil) support. Released every few months.

pip install lzallright

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lzallright' ↓

cause Library not installed or installed in wrong environment.

fix

Run 'pip install lzallright' in the correct virtual environment.

error ValueError: compressed data truncated ↓

cause Corrupt or incomplete compressed bytes passed to decompress().

fix

Verify compressed data integrity; ensure you pass the exact bytes returned by compress().

Warnings

gotcha compress() returns bytes, not string. decompress() expects bytes. ↓

fix Ensure input/output are bytes objects.

gotcha Compression level must be between 0 and 9 inclusive. Out-of-range values may raise ValueError. ↓

fix Use level in range(0,10).

gotcha The library requires Rust toolchain to build from source (sdist). Binary wheels are available for many platforms but not all. ↓

fix Install from PyPI binary wheel; if building from source, install Rust (rustc 1.66+).
