The proposed patch adds xz compression support in additional to gzip, compress and bzip2 in distutils.

I think there’s already a report for distutils2.

For distutils, if we take the feature freeze seriously, this would have to be rejected.  I know it looks innocuous, but distutils is brittle code widely monkey-patched, so I prefer to take no chances.

OK, I didn't know that distutils are frozen.

AFAIK distutils is no longer frozen.

What about the patch?

Code and doc changes look good.  Will you add tests?
msg238539 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-03-19 16:26
Added tests for gztar, bztar and xztar. Added more asserts in other tests.

The test for lzma being importable is not sufficient.
