I'm pleased to announce that as of changeset 74d182cf0187, the standard library now includes support for the LZMA compression algorithm

Congratulations!

I'd like to ask the owners of (non-Windows) buildbots to install the XZ Utils development headers so that they can build the new module.

And don't worry about Windows builbots, they will automatically download the XZ prebuilt binaries from the usual place. (svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/xz-5.0.3)

Next step: add support for tar.xz files (issue5689)...
