Nikolaus Rath added the comment:

Especially now that this is only going to go into 3.5, I think it makes more 
sense to handle GzipFile, LZMAFile and BZ2File all in one go. Looking at the 
code, otherwise there's going to be a lot of duplication.

How about introducing a base class 'CompressedFile' that defines most of the 
logic that's currently in LZMAFile (including the max_size patch from issue 
23529), and having {LZMA,BZ2,Gzip}File all inherit from that base?

BZ2File and LZMAFile would probably only need to define their own constructor 
to instantiate the proper compressor/decompressor object.

GzipFile would need to additionally overwrite read() and write() in order to 
handle the CRC and gzip header. But I think both methods could still be written 
to call super().read/write().

Did I miss something?
