[New-bugs-announce] [issue26243] zlib.compress level as keyword argument

[Aviv Palivoda]

New submission from Aviv Palivoda:

Currently zlib.compress allow only positional arguments. For code readability reasons i think that we should allow the level argument to be keyword argument. Now when someone uses zlib.compress he will be able to do zlib.compess(some_data, level=7) instead of zlib.compress(some_data, 7).

There is a patch included with the change.
