When I reviewed lzma, I found that this approach might not be appropriate. lzma has many more options and aspects that allow tuning and selection, and a Python LZMA library should provide the same feature set as the underlying C library. So I would propose that a very thin C layer is created around the C library that focuses on the actual algorithms, and that any higher layers (in particular file formats) are done in Python.
