cmeel-zlib

library1.3.2pypypiunverified

`cmeel-zlib` is a specialized Python package that provides a distribution of the `zlib` C library, packaged using `cmeel` (a CMake-based build system for Python wheels). Its primary purpose is to serve as a build dependency for other Python packages that are also built with `cmeel` and require the `zlib` C library. It does not offer a direct Python API. The current version is 1.3.1, with minor releases typically occurring every 2-3 months.

No direct Python symbols exported by `cmeel_zlib`

✓ This package facilitates the use of the `zlib` C library by other `cmeel`-based Python extensions. For Python-level `zlib` functionality, use the standard library `import zlib`.

✗ from cmeel_zlib import compress

`cmeel-zlib` is a CMake-based distribution of the `zlib` C library. It provides the necessary C library for Python packages that are built with `cmeel` and depend on `zlib`. It does not expose any Python APIs itself for direct import or usage.

After installing `cmeel-zlib`, you can use the standard Python `zlib` module. This package ensures that the underlying C `zlib` library is correctly provided and linked for efficient compression and decompression, especially when other `cmeel`-built extensions depend on it. This example demonstrates basic usage of the standard `zlib` module, which benefits from `cmeel-zlib`'s provision of the underlying C library.

import zlib data = b"Hello, cmeel-zlib compression example!" * 10 compressed_data = zlib.compress(data) decompressed_data = zlib.decompress(compressed_data) print(f"Original size: {len(data)} bytes") print(f"Compressed size: {len(compressed_data)} bytes") print(f"Decompressed data matches original: {data == decompressed_data}") # cmeel-zlib ensures that the underlying zlib C library is available # and correctly linked for the standard library's zlib module and other # cmeel-based extensions, potentially offering optimized performance.

Debug

Known issues

gotcha`cmeel-zlib` is not a direct Python API library; it does not export any Python symbols for direct import or use. Its primary function is to provide the `zlib` C library as a build dependency for other Python packages built using the `cmeel` build system.

fix

To use `zlib` functionality in Python, rely on the standard library `import zlib`. `cmeel-zlib` ensures the underlying C library is available and properly linked for other `cmeel`-based extensions.

affects: All versions

gotchaWhen `cmeel-zlib` is installed, it provides its own distribution of the `zlib` C library. This can potentially interact with or override other system-provided `zlib` installations, leading to unexpected behavior or build conflicts if not managed carefully in complex environments.

fix

Ensure your build environment is clean or explicitly manage `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (or equivalent environment variables) if you suspect conflicts. For most users, `pip install cmeel-zlib` should integrate smoothly, prioritizing its bundled `zlib`.
