These can be done in .__new__() method: - create thread lock - create (de)?compression context - initialize (de)?compressor states In .__init__() method, only set (de)?compression parameters. And prevent .__init__() method from being called multiple times. This mode works fine in my pyzstd module (A Python bindings to zstd library). But I think very few people will encounter this problem, we can leave it.
