python-snappy
=============

Python library for the snappy compression library from Google.

(http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php).

Dependencies
============

* snappy library >= 1.0.2 (or revision 27)
http://code.google.com/p/snappy/

* Supports Python 2.7 and Python 3

Build & Install
===============

Build:

::

python setup.py build

Install:

::

python setup.py install


Or install it from PyPi:

::

pip install python-snappy

Run tests
=========

::

nosetest test_snappy.py

Benchmarks
==========

*snappy vs. zlib*

**Compressing:**

::

%timeit zlib.compress("hola mundo cruel!")
100000 loops, best of 3: 9.64 us per loop

%timeit snappy.compress("hola mundo cruel!")
1000000 loops, best of 3: 849 ns per loop

**Snappy** is **11 times faster** than zlib when compressing

**Uncompressing:**

::

r = snappy.compress("hola mundo cruel!")

%timeit snappy.uncompress(r)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 755 ns per loop

r = zlib.compress("hola mundo cruel!")

%timeit zlib.decompress(r)
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.11 us per loop

**Snappy** is **twice** as fast as zlib

Commandline usage
=================

You can invoke Python Snappy to compress or decompress files or streams from
the commandline after installation as follows

Compressing and decompressing a file:

::

$ python -m snappy -c uncompressed_file compressed_file.snappy
$ python -m snappy -d compressed_file.snappy uncompressed_file

Compressing and decompressing a stream:

::

$ cat uncompressed_data | python -m snappy -c > compressed_data.snappy
$ cat compressed_data.snappy | python -m snappy -d > uncompressed_data

You can get help by running

::

$ python -m snappy --help
