""" Python 'bz2_codec' Codec - bz2 compression encoding

    Unlike most of the other codecs which target Unicode, this codec
    will return Python string objects for both encode and decode.

    Adapted by Raymond Hettinger from zlib_codec.py which was written
    by Marc-Andre Lemburg (mal@lemburg.com).

        errors defines the error handling to apply. It defaults to
        'strict' handling which is the only currently supported
        error handling for this codec.

        mapped files are examples of objects providing this slot.
