The tarfile module supports arbitrary compressions by using the stream mode. You only need to use a third-party library which provides zstd support. Recent versions of the tar utility has options to explicit support of new compressions: --lzip, --lzma, --lzop, --zstd, so corresponding modes can be added to the tarfile module. But it needs to include the support of these compressions in the stdlib. It should be discussed on the Python-ideas mailing list. https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37095> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
