        Introduction
        ============
        This package provides python bindings for the `LZ4 compression library
        <https://lz4.github.io/lz4/>`_.
        
        The bindings provided in this package cover the `frame format
        <http://lz4.github.io/lz4/lz4_Frame_format.html>`_ and the `block format
        <http://lz4.github.io/lz4/lz4_Block_format.html>`_ specifications. The frame
        format bindings are the recommended ones to use, as this guarantees
        interoperability with other implementations and language bindings.
        
        The API provided by the frame format bindings follows that of the LZMA, zlib,
        gzip and bzip2 compression libraries which are provided with the Python standard
        library. As such, these LZ4 bindings should provide a drop-in alternative to the
        compression libraries shipped with Python. The package provides context managers
        and file handler support.
        
        The bindings drop the GIL when calling in to the underlying LZ4 library, and is
        thread safe. An extensive test suite is included.
