Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Greg White (groggygreggy) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: fileinput/gzip modules should play well Initial Comment: It seems to be nearly impossible to use the fileinput module to read gzip files, even though gzip support is available in the gzip module. As a first step, it would be nice if the fileinput.FileInput class provided an overridable method that let outsiders glue the gzip module in place. It would also be nice if there was a way to make fileinput just automatically support gzip files (if, for instance, it saw a .gz extension). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Georg Brandl (birkenfeld) Date: 2006-02-19 15:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Accepted by committing patch #1215184. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-06-05 16:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 See patch #1215184. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Brett Cannon (bcannon) Date: 2003-05-13 04:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=357491 The hook is reasonable, the automatic opening of gzip is not. No need to have magic done based purely on extension. Any chance you could write a patch to expose the hook? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=563141&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
