Monkey patch the standard zipfile module to enable XZ support
Project description
zipfile-xz
Monkey patch the standard zipfile
module to enable XZ support.
Based on zipfile-deflate64
and zipfile-zstandard
, which provides similar functionality but for the deflate64
algorithm. Unlike zipfile-deflate64
, this package supports both compression and decompression.
Note: if you need Python2, use zipfile39 instead (it is also compatible with Python3).
Note: XZ is based on LZMA2, so the compression ratio will be similar to ZIP_LZMA.
Installation
pip install zipfile-xz
Usage
Anywhere in a Python codebase:
import zipfile_xz # This has the side effect of patching the zipfile module to support XZ
Alternatively, zipfile_ppmd
re-exports the zipfile
API, as a convenience:
import zipfile_xz as zipfile
zipfile.ZipFile(...)
Compression example:
import zipfile_xz as zipfile
zf = zipfile.ZipFile('/tmp/test.zip', 'w', zipfile.ZIP_XZ, compresslevel=6)
zf.write('large_file.img')
