Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

compress

✓ from pyliblzfse import compress

✗ from liblzfse import compress

The module is named pyliblzfse, not liblzfse.

decompress

✓ from pyliblzfse import decompress

Compress and decompress bytes using LZFSE. Both compress and decompress expect bytes input and return bytes.

from pyliblzfse import compress, decompress original = b"Hello, world!" * 1000 compressed = compress(original) decompressed = decompress(compressed) assert original == decompressed print("LZFSE compression works!")

Debug

Known issues

gotchacompress() and decompress() expect bytes, not strings. Passing str will raise TypeError.

fix

Always encode strings to bytes before calling compress, e.g., b'text' or 'text'.encode()

affects: all

deprecatedLibrary updates are infrequent; may not support newer Python versions. Last release 2018.

fix

Consider alternatives like pyLZFSE or using ctypes bindings for newer Python.

affects: >=0.4.0

gotchaCompression output may be larger than input for small data. LZFSE is optimized for larger blocks.

fix

Do not assume compression ratio for small inputs; use with large data or benchmark.
