I pointed out a use case for Brotli & HTTP2 as a concrete example for why it'd be more convenient to include brotli as a module. I'm sure there are other cases I haven't thought about.
I don't understand why LZMA should be included while zstd or brotli shouldn't. What's the actual policy here? בתאריך יום ד׳, 23 בספט׳ 2020 ב-13:09 מאת David Mertz <me...@gnosis.cx >: > On Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 11:55 PM Paul Moore <p.f.mo...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> The point of this request is that Python's packaging infrastructure is >> looking at what compression we use for wheels - the current >> compression is suboptimal for huge binaries like tensorflow.
