There are two zstd modules on pypi:
https://pypi.org/project/zstd/
https://pypi.org/project/zstandard/
The first one is too simple.
The second one is powerful, but has too many APIs:
ZstdCompressorIterator
ZstdDecompressorIterator
ZstdCompressionReader
ZstdCompressionWriter
ZstdCompressionChunkerIterator
(multi-thread compression)
IMO these are not necessary for stdlib.
In addition, it needs to add something, such as the `max_length` parameter, and
a `ZstdFile` class that can be integrated with the tarfile module. These
workloads are not big.
I looked at the zstd API, it's a bit simpler than lzma/bz2/zlib. If spend a
month, should be able to make a zstd module for stdlib. Then discuss the
detailed API on Python-Ideas.
I once wanted to do this job, but it seems my time does not allow it. If anyone
wants to do this work, please reply here.
FYI, Python 3.10 schedule:
3.10.0 beta 1: 2021-05-03 (No new features beyond this point.)
