New submission from Dor Dankner: When creating a gzip file using the gzip module, the wrong header is set as the compress level when not using the default (9). the reason is that the header is set blindly as \002, without really checking what compress level is.
Patch to fix that behaviour is provided :) (Patch tested on python 3.5, but relevant to 2.x versions too) ---------- components: Extension Modules files: gzip_compressionlvl_header_fix.patch keywords: patch messages: 270490 nosy: ddorda priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Misleading compress level header on files created with gzip type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43732/gzip_compressionlvl_header_fix.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27521> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
