Hi,
I'm going to give a seminar about serialization, and I'd like to
describe the .npy format. I noticed that there is a variant of it
called .npz that can pack several arrays in one single file.
However, .npz does not use compression at all and I'm wondering what's
the reason. I suppose that this is because you don't want to loose the
possibility to memmap saved arrays, but can someone confirm this?
Thanks,
