Summary : Fast random access of gzip files in Python
URL : https://github.com/pauldmccarthy/indexed_gzip
License : zlib
Description :
: The indexed_gzip project is a Python extension which aims to provide a drop-in
: replacement for the built-in Python gzip.GzipFile class, the IndexedGzipFile.
:
: indexed_gzip was written to allow fast random access of compressed NIFTI image
: files (for which GZIP is the de-facto compression standard), but will work with
: any GZIP file. indexed_gzip is easy to use with nibabel.
:
: The standard gzip.GzipFile class exposes a random access-like interface (via
: its seek and read methods), but every time you seek to a new point in the
: uncompressed data stream, the GzipFile instance has to start decompressing from
: the beginning of the file, until it reaches the requested location.
:
: An IndexedGzipFile instance gets around this performance limitation by building
: an index, which contains *seek points*, mappings between corresponding
: locations in the compressed and uncompressed data streams. Each seek point is
: accompanied by a chunk (32KB) of uncompressed data which is used to initialize
: the decompression algorithm, allowing us to start reading from any seek point.
: If the index is built with a seek point spacing of 1MB, we only have to
: decompress (on average) 512KB of data to read from any location in the file.
