PEP 784: Adding Zstandard to the standard library

PEPs
138

The Steering Council officially accepts PEP 784, with the following changes requested:

  • Please move the included pyzstd license into the Doc/license.rst file[1], under the section titled Licenses and Acknowledgements for Incorporated Software.
  • Please remove the details outlining the deprecation schedule for the existing modules slated to be aliased under the compression package name. If you want to keep the section, we suggest language such as “there are currently no plans to remove the old module names, and any deprecations are left to the future”. To make sure we get the language just right, please @-mention the SC on any PEP update PRs.

Thanks and congratulations to @emmatyping!

  1. and remove from the top-level LICENSE file, which should only contain the stacked CPython licenses ↩︎
