-This module provides Python bindings for the LZO data compression library.
-LZO is a portable lossless data compression library written in ANSI C.
-It offers pretty fast compression and *very* fast decompression.
-Decompression requires no memory.
-In addition there are slower compression levels achieving a quite
-competitive compression ratio while still decompressing at
-this very high speed.""",
