Faster zlib and gzip compatible compression and decompression by providing Python bindings for the zlib-ng library. This package provides Python bindings for the zlib-ng library. python-zlib-ng provides the bindings by offering three modules: * zlib_ng: A drop-in replacement for the zlib module that uses zlib-ng to accelerate its performance. * gzip_ng: A drop-in replacement for the gzip module that uses zlib_ng instead of zlib to perform its compression and checksum tasks, which improves performance. * gzip_ng_threaded offers an open function which returns buffered read or write streams that can be used to read and write large files while escaping the GIL using one or multiple threads. This functionality only works for streaming, seeking is not supported.
