Description : Python library to compress zip files using zstd algorithm
This library monkey patches the zipfile module present in the standard library
to provide zstd compression. It is done by changing the import line.
I'm packaging this because I plan to use it at work, but since zstd is a
popular compression format and the python zipfile module only provides really
old algorithms, I think it could also be useful for other projects for this to
exist in Debian.
I plan to maintain this within the python team.
