lizard VS python-zstandard

Compare lizard vs python-zstandard and see what are their differences.

lizard

Lizard (formerly LZ5) is an efficient compressor with very fast decompression. It achieves compression ratio that is comparable to zip/zlib and zstd/brotli (at low and medium compression levels) at decompression speed of 1000 MB/s and faster. (by inikep)

python-zstandard

Python bindings to the Zstandard (zstd) compression library (by indygreg)

  • I'm trying to compress data with Python and Zstd library but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any Help?
    1 project | /r/learnpython | 31 Jan 2022
    I'm working on file formats called tif file which are on average a gigabyte of size. A middle step is to compress those files and I looked it up and found this and tried to use it. But unfortunately, the size of the compressed file is barely 100MB less than the original one and it takes like 1.5 minutes to compress it. I'm reading the entire file in memory instead of streaming it but I don't really think that could result in compression size. I'm also using high enough level of compression(20 level) but it still won't give me good results.
