The main policy requirement is a maintainer willing to shepherd inclusion and then maintain the module in the stdlib. One person volunteered at some point to do that for LZMA, and it had desirabled characteristics as a compression algorithm, so it happened. (and when LZMA was included in 2011, ZStandard didn't even exist AFAIK) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/42AHQUBS6YB2GD2WUNQW3TMT3EAI6FR5/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
