PEP 450 Adding a statistics module to Python

[Jason Friedman]

> NumPy and SciPy are not available for many Python users, including those
> using a Python implementation for which there is no Numpy support
> <URL:http://new.scipy.org/faq.html#python-version-support> and those for
> whom large, dependency-heavy third-party packages are too much burden.
>
> See the Rationale of PEP 450 for more reasons why “install NumPy” is not
> a feasible solution for many use cases, and why having ‘statistics’ as a
> pure-Python, standard-library package is desirable.
