ufastlz

Micropython wrapper for FastLZ, a lightning-fast lossless compression library.

Compiling the cmodule into MicroPython

To build such a module, compile MicroPython with an extra make flag named USER_C_MODULES set to the directory containing all modules you want included (not to the module itself).
