H Bastian, IMHO we should wait until the format reach version 1.0, since the stdlib has a slow release cycle (one release every 18 months). Too slow for a "fast moving" standard.
In the meanwhile, I'm sure setuptools and pip will manage to install a toml parser/generator for their needs, as they already do :-) Victor Le mer. 15 mai 2019 à 12:50, Bastian Venthur <vent...@debian.org> a écrit : > > On 15.05.19 11:33, Antoine Pitrou wrote: > > How stable is the TOML format?
