Here is a possible patch for 2.7. To fix everything on 2.7 I changed the module
to accept input buffers over 2 GiB by enabling PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN. As a
consequence, the patch also includes ports of Nadeem Vawda’s adler32(), crc32()
changes from Issue 10276, and my tests from Issue 25626.
I have only tested this on computers with less than 4 GiB of memory. I can test
compression and checksums with more input by using a sparse memory map, but not
decompression.
fm = open("5GiB.sparse", "w+b")
fm.truncate(5 * 2**30)
m = mmap(fm.fileno(), 0)
z = compress(m)
