The compression
package¶
Added in version 3.14.
The compression
package contains the canonical compression modules
containing interfaces to several different compression algorithms. Some of
these modules have historically been available as separate modules; those will
continue to be available under their original names for compatibility reasons,
and will not be removed without a deprecation cycle. The use of modules in
compression
is encouraged where practical.
