It offers an interface compatible with Python's gzip module, including support for binary and text streams, and a command-line interface available through python3 -m pgzip. . Block indexes are stored in the gzip header's FEXTRA field, allowing parallel processing while keeping the compressed files compatible with standard gzip tools. Performance depends on the available cores, data, block size and I/O throughput.
