input = ['123', '45']
# compress() returns a python generator object
# compresslevel defaults to 6
for compressed in gengzip.compress(input, compresslevel=6):
    print compressed

gzip data and write to file:

input = ['123', '45']
with open('output.gz', 'w') as f:
    for compressed in gengzip.compress(input):
        f.write(compressed)
