He's referring to PEPs 518 and 517 [1], which indeed standardize on TOML as a file format for Python package build metadata. I think moving anything into the stdlib would be premature though – TOML libraries are under active development, and the general trend in the packaging space has been to move things *out* of the stdlib (e.g. there's repeated rumblings about moving distutils out), because the stdlib release cycle doesn't work well for packaging infrastructure. -n [1] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517 -- Nathaniel J.
