Returns a compression object, to be used for compressing data streams that won't
fit into memory at once.
*level* is the compression level -- an integer from ``0`` to ``9``. A value
of ``1`` is fastest and produces the least compression, while a value of
*level* is the compression level -- an integer from ``0`` to ``9`` or ``-1``.
A value of ``1`` is fastest and produces the least compression, while a value of
``9`` is slowest and produces the most. ``0`` is no compression. The default
value is ``6``.
value is ``-1`` (Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION). Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION represents a default
compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent to level 6).
*method* is the compression algorithm. Currently, the only supported value is
``DEFLATED``.
