Here's a jython-dev thread with a little more detail http://markmail.org/message/fwpt4nlvgiskgfur Basically we can implement bz2 with the Apache library but it does not support streaming of decompression (which Python's bz2.BZ2Decompressor does). It should support encoding via a stream however (bz2.BZ2Compressor). This would be better than nothing as I think most uses of the bz2 module are via bz2.BZ2File, which doesn't stream Another alternative is a former Jython contributor tried implementing a port of the libbz2 C code to Java for his Jythonx project. I don't know what state this code is in though
