[Python-ideas] Re: Add the brotli & zstandard compression algorithms as modules

but Python isn't trying to have the "optimal cutting-edge" thing in its standard library. More like "the well-established, widely-used" thing.

I also agree with this.

At present, I have confidence in zstd. There seems to be a trend that some programmer users are switching to zstd.

Don't know if it will be popular among non-programmer users. If this happens in the future, what path will it take?

I feel like you making Zstd available on PyPI is wonderful, and a huge service to the community.

There was already a zstandard module on PyPI since 2016, but its API is different from bz2/lzma module. I intentionally didn't look at its implementation when implementing the module.
