Documentation

Python 3.14 added zstd compression support in the standard library, and tarfile, zipfile and shutil can now use it.

  • The documentation of tarfile.open() should be updated to mention zstd compression.
  • Documentation of shutil.make_archive(), shutil.get_archive_formats(), shutil.unpack_archive(), and shutil.get_unpack_formats() should be updated.
  • zipfile documentation should mention the ZIP_ZSTANDARD flag.
