Below are some examples of typical usage of the !bz2 module.
Using compress and decompress to demonstrate round-trip compression
Using BZ2Compressor for incremental compression
The example above uses a very "nonrandom" stream of data (a stream of b"z" chunks). Random data tends to compress poorly, while ordered, repetitive data usually yields a high compression ratio.
Writing and reading a bzip2-compressed file in binary mode
import os os.remove("myfile.bz2")
