------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.9.2
Resolution: Fixed
> 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
> Assignee: Michael A. Smith
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.9.2
>
>
> 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.
