python-snappy

Pure Python Snappy compression and decompression library.

Features

  • Pure Python implementation - no C dependencies required
  • Full compression and decompression support
  • Supports all Snappy element types: literals and copy operations
  • Handles 1-byte, 2-byte, and 4-byte offset copies

Installation

uv add python-snappy-pure

Or with pip:

pip install python-snappy-pure

Usage

from python_snappy import compress, decompress

# Compress data
data = b"Hello, World!" * 100
compressed = compress(data)

# Decompress data
decompressed = decompress(compressed)
assert decompressed == data

Limitations

  • Performance is slower than C-based implementations

For production use with large data, consider using the python-snappy package from PyPI which wraps the C library.

Development

uv sync --extra test
uv run pytest
