A Python package for blazingly fast JPEG transformations. Compared to other,
more general purpose image processing libraries like `wand-py`_  or
`PIL/Pillow`_, the performance gain can, depending on the transformation, be
somewhere in the range of 150% to 500% (see *Benchmarks*). In addition to
that, all operations except for scaling are lossless, since the image is not
being re-compressed in the process. This is due to the fact that all
transformation operations work directly with the JPEG data.
