The bz2 module is an interface for the bzip2 library, used to compress data for storage or transmission. There are three APIs provided:
- “one shot” compression/decompression functions for operating on a blob of data
- iterative compression/decompression objects for working with streams of data
- a file-like class that supports reading and writing as with an uncompressed file
