BZ2Compressor([compresslevel=9]) -> compressor object

Create a new compressor object. This object may be used to compress data sequentially. If you want to compress data in one shot, use the compress() function instead. The compresslevel parameter, if given, must be a number between 1 and 9.

delattr(...)

x.__delattr__('name') <==> del x.name

Overrides: object.__delattr__

getattribute(...)

x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name

Overrides: object.__getattribute__

init(compresslevel=9)
(Constructor)

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

Returns: compressor object
Overrides: object.__init__

new(T, S, ...)

Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T
Overrides: object.__new__

setattr(...)

x.__setattr__('name', value) <==> x.name = value

Overrides: object.__setattr__

compress(data)

Provide more data to the compressor object. It will return chunks of compressed data whenever possible. When you've finished providing data to compress, call the flush() method to finish the compression process, and return what is left in the internal buffers.

Returns: string

flush()

Finish the compression process and return what is left in internal buffers. You must not use the compressor object after calling this method.

Returns: string
