bgzip: block gzip streams

bgzip provides streams for block gzip files.

Cython is used under the hood to bypass Python's GIL and provide fast, parallelized inflation/deflation.

with open("my_bgzipped_file.gz", "rb") as raw:
	with bgzip.BGZipReader(raw) as fh:
		data = fh.read(number_of_bytes)

with open("my_bgzipped_file.gz", "wb") as raw:
	with bgzip.BGZipWriter(raw) as fh:
		fh.write(my_data)

Installation

pip install bgzip
