Incremental compression

I want to compress a sequence of bytes one byte at a time. (I am already
processing the bytes one byte at a time, for other reasons.) I don't
particularly care *which* compression method is used, and in fact I'm not
even interested in the compressed data itself, only its length. So I'm
looking for something similar to this:
count = 0
for b in stream:
process(b)
count += incremental_compressor.compressor(b)
or some variation. Apart from bzip2, do I have any other options in the
std lib?
