The pyzstd
module provides Python support for Zstandard, using
an API style similar to the bz2
, lzma
, and zlib
modules.
[!WARNING]
Zstandard is now natively supported in Python’s standard library via the
compression.zstd
module. For older Python versions, use thebackports.zstd
library as a fallback.We recommend new projects to use the standard library, and existing ones to consider migrating.
See
pyzstd
's documentation for details and a migration guide.
