python3-indexed-gzip
fast random access of gzip files in Python
Description
Drop-in replacement `IndexedGzipFile` for the built-in Python `gzip.GzipFile` class that does not need to start decompressing from the beginning of the file when for every `seek()`. It gets around this performance limitation by building an index, which contains *seek points*, mappings between corresponding locations in the compressed and uncompressed data streams. Each seek point is accompanied by a chunk (32KB) of uncompressed data which is used to initialise the decompression algorithm, allowing to start reading from any seek point. If the index is built with a seek point spacing of 1MB, only 512KB (on average) of data have to be decompressed to read from any location in the file. This package provides the Python 3 module.Upload more screenshots
