Debug

Known issues

breakingThe 'lzf' module is a shared namespace: if python-lzf (original) is also installed, conflicts may occur. Ensure only one version is installed.

fix

Uninstall any other lzf packages and install only python-neo-lzf.

affects: all

gotchaInput must be bytes; strings will raise TypeError.

fix

Always encode strings to bytes before compression: lzf.compress('text'.encode('utf-8')).

affects: all

deprecatedThe package requires Python >=3.7. No official deprecation, but older Python versions are unsupported.

fix

Upgrade to Python 3.7 or later.

affects: 0.3.5

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Input to compress/decompress is a string instead of bytes.

fix

lzf.compress(b'value') or encode your string: lzf.compress('value'.encode()).

ImportError: cannot import name 'compress' from 'lzf'

The package is not installed or the module name is incorrect. Sometimes python-lzf (original) has different API.

fix

Install python-neo-lzf via pip. Ensure no other lzf module is in the path.
