Hello,

Since zstandard are a bit new compression algorithm packages in Linux distro not always exists. But distro packages for pip is very common and can provide python-zstandard.

What do you think about provide a small command line interface to your library for working with files like zstd binary?

It can improve popularity of zstd due effort-less installation. See at python -mgzip -d aa.txt.gz in CPython too.

Greetings,

Hej,

Istnieje szansa, że znasz język polski. Zatem napiszę także polsku.

Algorytm zstd jest stosunkowo młody. Nie każde distro ma dla niego zbudowane paczki. Jednak pip jest praktycznie wszędzie dostępny. Wówczas może być zainstalowana Twoja biblioteka bez wysiłku.

Co sądzisz o dostarczeniu niewielkiego interfejsu linii poleceń do biblioteki,aby pracować z plikami tak jak standardowe zstd?

To mogłoby poprawić popularność zstd dzięki bez wysiłkowej instalacji. Warto zauważyć, że przykładowo moduł gzip w Pytonie taki interfejs oferuje.

Pozdrawiam,

(Despite my last name, I don't speak Polish, unfortunately.)

I think having a standalone interface that is similar to the zstd binary is a good idea.

It isn't a high priority for me, however. But if someone sends code to implement it, I'll accept the pull requests.
