+<longdescription lang="en">
+ blosc is a high performance compressor optimized
+ for binary data. It has been designed to transmit data to the
+ processor cache faster than the traditional, non-compressed, direct
+ memory fetch approach via a memcpy() OS call.
+ Blosc works well for compressing numerical arrays that contains data
+ with relatively low entropy, like sparse data, time series, grids with
+ regular-spaced values, etc.
+ python-blosc a Python package that wraps Blosc.
