python-pybcj 1.0.1

BCJ filter library

In data compression, BCJ, short for Branch-Call-Jump, refers to a technique that improves the compression of machine code of executable binaries by replacing relative branch addresses with absolute ones. This allows a LZMA compressor to identify duplicate targets and archive higher compression rate. BCJ is used in the 7-zip compression utility as the default filter for executable binaries.

pybcj provides Python bindings to a BCJ implementation in C.
