python-zlib-ng

Faster zlib and gzip compatible compression and decompression by providing Python bindings for the zlib-ng library. python-zlib-ng provides the bindings by offering three modules: zlib_ng, gzip_ng, gzip_ng_threaded. zlib_ng and gzip_ng are almost fully compatible with zlib and gzip from the Python standard library.
