| The :mod:`!compression` package |
| =============================== |
| |
| .. module:: compression |
| |
| .. versionadded:: 3.14 |
| |
| The :mod:`!compression` package contains the canonical compression modules |
| containing interfaces to several different compression algorithms. Some of |
| these modules have historically been available as separate modules; those will |
| continue to be available under their original names for compatibility reasons, |
| and will not be removed without a deprecation cycle. The use of modules in |
| :mod:`!compression` is encouraged where practical. |
