+:mod:`bz2` --- Compression compatible with :program:`bzip2`
+===========================================================
+
+.. module:: bz2
+ :synopsis: Interface to compression and decompression routines compatible with bzip2.
+.. moduleauthor:: Gustavo Niemeyer <niemeyer@conectiva.com>
+.. sectionauthor:: Gustavo Niemeyer <niemeyer@conectiva.com>
+
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.3
+
+This module provides a comprehensive interface for the bz2 compression library.
+It implements a complete file interface, one-shot (de)compression functions, and
+types for sequential (de)compression.
+
+Here is a resume of the features offered by the bz2 module:
+
+* :class:`BZ2File` class implements a complete file interface, including
+ :meth:`readline`, :meth:`readlines`, :meth:`writelines`, :meth:`seek`, etc;
+
+* :class:`BZ2File` class implements emulated :meth:`seek` support;
+
+* :class:`BZ2File` class implements universal newline support;
+
+* :class:`BZ2File` class offers an optimized line iteration using the readahead
+ algorithm borrowed from file objects;
+
+* Sequential (de)compression supported by :class:`BZ2Compressor` and
+ :class:`BZ2Decompressor` classes;
+
+* One-shot (de)compression supported by :func:`compress` and :func:`decompress`
+ functions;
+
+* Thread safety uses individual locking mechanism;
+
+* Complete inline documentation;
+
+
+(De)compression of files
+------------------------
+
+Handling of compressed files is offered by the :class:`BZ2File` class.
+
+
+.. class:: BZ2File(filename[, mode[, buffering[, compresslevel]]])
+
+ Open a bz2 file. Mode can be either ``'r'`` or ``'w'``, for reading (default)
+ or writing. When opened for writing, the file will be created if it doesn't
+ exist, and truncated otherwise. If *buffering* is given, ``0`` means unbuffered,
+ and larger numbers specify the buffer size; the default is ``0``. If
+ *compresslevel* is given, it must be a number between ``1`` and ``9``; the
+ default is ``9``. Add a ``'U'`` to mode to open the file for input with
+ universal newline support. Any line ending in the input file will be seen as a
+ ``'\n'`` in Python. Also, a file so opened gains the attribute
+ :attr:`newlines`; the value for this attribute is one of ``None`` (no newline
+ read yet), ``'\r'``, ``'\n'``, ``'\r\n'`` or a tuple containing all the newline
+ types seen. Universal newlines are available only when reading. Instances
+ support iteration in the same way as normal :class:`file` instances.
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2File.close()
+
+ Close the file. Sets data attribute :attr:`closed` to true. A closed file cannot
+ be used for further I/O operations. :meth:`close` may be called more than once
+ without error.
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2File.read([size])
+
+ Read at most *size* uncompressed bytes, returned as a string. If the *size*
+ argument is negative or omitted, read until EOF is reached.
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2File.readline([size])
+
+ Return the next line from the file, as a string, retaining newline. A
+ non-negative *size* argument limits the maximum number of bytes to return (an
+ incomplete line may be returned then). Return an empty string at EOF.
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2File.readlines([size])
+
+ Return a list of lines read. The optional *size* argument, if given, is an
+ approximate bound on the total number of bytes in the lines returned.
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2File.seek(offset[, whence])
+
+ Move to new file position. Argument *offset* is a byte count. Optional argument
+ *whence* defaults to ``os.SEEK_SET`` or ``0`` (offset from start of file; offset
+ should be ``>= 0``); other values are ``os.SEEK_CUR`` or ``1`` (move relative to
+ current position; offset can be positive or negative), and ``os.SEEK_END`` or
+ ``2`` (move relative to end of file; offset is usually negative, although many
+ platforms allow seeking beyond the end of a file).
+
+ Note that seeking of bz2 files is emulated, and depending on the parameters the
+ operation may be extremely slow.
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2File.tell()
+
+ Return the current file position, an integer (may be a long integer).
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2File.write(data)
+
+ Write string *data* to file. Note that due to buffering, :meth:`close` may be
+ needed before the file on disk reflects the data written.
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2File.writelines(sequence_of_strings)
+
+ Write the sequence of strings to the file. Note that newlines are not added. The
+ sequence can be any iterable object producing strings. This is equivalent to
+ calling write() for each string.
+
+
+Sequential (de)compression
+--------------------------
+
+Sequential compression and decompression is done using the classes
+:class:`BZ2Compressor` and :class:`BZ2Decompressor`.
+
+
+.. class:: BZ2Compressor([compresslevel])
+
+ Create a new compressor object. This object may be used to compress data
+ sequentially. If you want to compress data in one shot, use the :func:`compress`
+ function instead. The *compresslevel* parameter, if given, must be a number
+ between ``1`` and ``9``; the default is ``9``.
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2Compressor.compress(data)
+
+ Provide more data to the compressor object. It will return chunks of compressed
+ data whenever possible. When you've finished providing data to compress, call
+ the :meth:`flush` method to finish the compression process, and return what is
+ left in internal buffers.
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2Compressor.flush()
+
+ Finish the compression process and return what is left in internal buffers. You
+ must not use the compressor object after calling this method.
+
+
+.. class:: BZ2Decompressor()
+
+ Create a new decompressor object. This object may be used to decompress data
+ sequentially. If you want to decompress data in one shot, use the
+ :func:`decompress` function instead.
+
+
+.. method:: BZ2Decompressor.decompress(data)
+
+ Provide more data to the decompressor object. It will return chunks of
+ decompressed data whenever possible. If you try to decompress data after the end
+ of stream is found, :exc:`EOFError` will be raised. If any data was found after
+ the end of stream, it'll be ignored and saved in :attr:`unused_data` attribute.
+
+
+One-shot (de)compression
+------------------------
+
+One-shot compression and decompression is provided through the :func:`compress`
+and :func:`decompress` functions.
+
+
+.. function:: compress(data[, compresslevel])
+
+ Compress *data* in one shot. If you want to compress data sequentially, use an
+ instance of :class:`BZ2Compressor` instead. The *compresslevel* parameter, if
+ given, must be a number between ``1`` and ``9``; the default is ``9``.
+
+
+.. function:: decompress(data)
+
+ Decompress *data* in one shot. If you want to decompress data sequentially, use
+ an instance of :class:`BZ2Decompressor` instead.
+
