+"""Interface to the liblzma compression library.
+
+This module provides a class for reading and writing compressed files,
+classes for incremental (de)compression, and convenience functions for
+one-shot (de)compression.
+
+These classes and functions support both the XZ and legacy LZMA
+container formats, as well as raw compressed data streams.

+
+        mode can be "r" for reading (default), "w" for (over)writing, or
+        "a" for appending.

+        default is FORMAT_XZ.

+        only be used when opening a file for writing. For FORMAT_XZ,
