Hi pytables-users,
The lzo algorithm site
http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/
does not maintain any lzo binaries for download on Windows
However, thanks to Francesc Alted, such binaries are available indirectly as
a compression library for use with the pytables filters.

I have the need for LZO decompressing bytestrings or streams on a Windows OS
decoupled from HDF5 files.
I cannot figure out how to make something like Python-LZO 1.08 (last release
in 2002!) work on a windows system as a standalone module (It would be a
very large personal barrier to C compile anything on that OS), and I was
therefore wondering if I could use some kind of internal hook, a convenience
or utility method in a pytables module to do a
"decompressed_byte_str = lzo.decompress(lzocompressed_byte_str, opts)"??
I have spend some time looking around in the pytables Python code, e.g., the
filters module, but did not manage to find anything usefull.
Kind regards,
Kim
