l_bnl_compress: Lossy but not lossy compression, a Python script to compress MX data

This paper describes the computer program, l\_bnl\_compress.py. which is a Python script implementing the lossy compressions described in Bernstein, H. J., Soares, A. S., Horvat, K. & Jakoncic, J. (2024). J. Sync. Rad. 32(2) for macromolecular crystallographic diffraction data. The lossy compressions use pixel-by-pixel binning, image-by-image summing, JPEG-2000 Daubechies (DB) wavelet compression from the movie industry, and HCompress Haar (now known as DB0) wavelet compression from astronomy which are combined with the usual lossless MX compressions.
