+python-lz4: provides python bindings for the LZ4 compression library.
+
+The bindings provided in this package cover the frame format and the block
+format specifications. The frame format bindings are the recommended ones to
+use, as this guarantees interoperability with other implementations and
+language bindings.
+
+The API provided by the frame format bindings follows that of the LZMA, zlib,
+gzip and bzip2 compression libraries which are provided with the Python
+standard library. As such, these LZ4 bindings should provide a drop-in
+alternative to the compression libraries shipped with Python. The package
+provides context managers and file handler support.
