Message 174960 - Python tracker (original) (raw)
Apologies for noise, but since a backport was discussed, I'm mentioning this here.
I've started implementing a backport, currently working and tested on Mac OS X and Linux, back to Python 3.0 - supporting Python 2 would be nice but probably significantly more work (assistance welcome - please get in touch on github): https://github.com/peterjc/backports.lzma
Assuming Nadeem has no objections, I intend to publish this on PyPI (I have tried to email directly but perhaps I'm using an old email address or he has been busy, another reason for commenting here). Thanks!
