--------------------------------------
Summary: Add external codecs to extras_require
Key: AVRO-2601
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2601
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: python
Reporter: Michael A. Smith
The Python implementations support some compression algorithms that aren't
supported in the python standard library. Users would need to install these
codecs themselves to use them. To make that process easier, we can add these
optional codecs to extras_require in the setup scripts so that users can
require `avro[zstandard]` instead of separately installing `avro` and
`zstandard`.
There's precedent here, since this is how avro already does it for snappy.
Also, encouraging installing zstandard or snappy via extras_require can reduce
the risk of compatibility issues.
