[Python-ideas] Pre-PEP: adding a statistics module to Python

[Michele Lacchia]

Wow, this is great news!
FWIW when I was first learning Python I wrote a Python module with many
statistical functions as an exercise:
https://github.com/rubik/pyst/blob/master/pyst/pyst.py

I should point out that this was no more than an exercise, thus it's
unmaintained since a long time. However it may still be useful to someone
and I thought I would mention it here. It also isn't sensible to some
gotchas, like the one regarding math.fsum Steven mentioned.
