This project provides Python bindings for interfacing with the
`Zstandard <http://www.zstd.net>`_ compression library. A C extension
and CFFI interface are provided.

The primary goal of the project is to provide a rich interface to the
underlying C API through a Pythonic interface while not sacrificing
performance. This means exposing most of the features and flexibility
of the C API while not sacrificing usability or safety that Python provides.

The canonical home for this project is
