I love the 'x' mode open in recent versions of Python. I just discovered
that lzma.open doesn't support it. It seems there's an elif that explicitly
checks the modes allowed. I added x and xb to the choices and now it
seems to work as I would like.

Done.

I guess I should have known that. Sorry to bother python-dev with this.

When I build python from sources I have no lzma support (module _lzma
cannot be built).
There are lzma packages installed in my Ubuntu 11.10 box: lzma,
lzma-dev and lzma-sources.
I can see lib files (headers are also can be found in linux-headers):

Hey folks,
I'm pleased to announce that as of changeset 74d182cf0187, the
standard library now includes support for the LZMA compression
algorithm (as well as the associated .xz and .lzma file formats). The
new lzma module has a very similar API to the existing bz2 module; it

Congrats, this is an excellent feature.

Another update - I've added proper documentation. Now the code should be
pretty much complete - all that's missing is the necessary bits and pieces
to build it on Windows.
Cheers,

I've posted an updated patch to the bug tracker, with a complete implementation
of the lzma module, including 100% test coverage for the LZMAFile class (which
is implemented entirely in Python). It doesn't include ReST documentation (yet),
but the docstrings are quite detailed.
Please take a look

Hello all,
I'd like to propose the addition of a new module in Python 3.3. The 'lzma'
module will provide support for compression and decompression using the LZMA
algorithm, and the .xz and .lzma file formats. The matter has already been
discussed on the tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue6715,

The implementation will also be similar to bz2 - basic compressor and
decompressor classes written in C, with convenience functions and a file
interface implemented on top of those in Python.
When I reviewed lzma, I found that this approach might not be
appropriate. lzma has many more options
