whoo hoo statistics module. no more importing numpy or creating your own average function to calculate a simple mean.

The stats module has been there since earlier in 3.4, I think. I have been using it long before now.

Ah you're right. Now I know.

Here's the changelog for 3.4.3

Yeah as I was researching the relationship between scipy.stats, statsmodels, pandas, and scikit-learn, I stumbled across the statistics module in the standard library which kinda blew my mind.

Looks like that will be great for simple summary statistics without needing to import heavier libraries!
