threadzip
Implemented in python.
Parallel threaded arbitrary compression algorithms. Currently implemented: zlib (default), and lzma. Hopefully coming soon: bzip2, lzo, and "none" for testing purposes. ;-)
Which compression algorithms?
zlib: like gzip and zip (medium speed, medium strength compression)
lzma: like 7-zip and xz (slow, strongest compression)
bzip2: like bzip2 ;-) (very slow, fairly strong compression)
lzo: like lzop (fast, weak compression) (not yet available in threadzip)
none: like none ;-) (very fast, zero compression)
Why python?
Python is everywhere. Compatible with basically every OS on every platform. It helps develop the code rapidly, and gain widespread usability. zlib is included by default with every python, and bz2 is included with every python 2.3 and up. Other algorithms (pylzma and lzo) require python add-ons which are
