Peter added the comment:

A workaround for my use case is even simpler, something like this:

try:
    handle = gzip.open(filename, "rt")
except ValueError:
    # Workaround for Python 2.7 under Windows
    handle = gzip.open(filename, "r")
    
However, even this is troublesome for use in documentation intended to work on 
Python 2 and 3, over Linux, Mac and Windows.
