PYZOPFLI

cPython bindings for
zopfli <http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2013/02/compress-data-more-densely-with-zopfli.html>__.

It requires Python 3.8 or greater.

USAGE

pyzopfli is a straight forward wrapper around zopfli's ZlibCompress method.

::

from zopfli.zlib import compress
from zlib import decompress
s = 'Hello World'
print decompress(compress(s))

pyzopfli also wraps GzipCompress, but the API point does not try to
mimic the gzip module.

::

from zopfli.gzip import compress 
from StringIO import StringIO
from gzip import GzipFile
print GzipFile(fileobj=StringIO(compress("Hello World!"))).read()

Both zopfli.zlib.compress and zopfli.gzip.compress support the following
keyword arguments. All values should be integers; boolean parmaters are
treated as expected, 0 and >0 as false and true.

verbose dumps zopfli debugging data to stderr
numiterations Maximum amount of times to rerun forward and backward
pass to optimize LZ77 compression cost. Good values: 10, 15 for small
files, 5 for files over several MB in size or it will be too slow.
blocksplitting If true, splits the data in multiple deflate blocks
with optimal choice for the block boundaries. Block splitting gives
better compression. Default: true (1).
blocksplittinglast If true, chooses the optimal block split points
only after doing the iterative LZ77 compression. If false, chooses
the block split points first, then does iterative LZ77 on each
individual block. Depending on the file, either first or last gives
the best compression. Default: false (0).
blocksplittingmax Maximum amount of blocks to split into (0 for
unlimited, but this can give extreme results that hurt compression on
some files). Default value: 15.

TODO

Stop reading the entire file into memory and support streaming
Monkey patch zlib and gzip so code with an overly tight binding can
be easily modified to use zopfli.
