Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

One problem with the seek() approach is that some file-like objects have 
expensive seeks. One example is GzipFile, where seek(n) is O(n) (it first 
rewinds to the start of file, then reads n decompressed bytes). In the end, 
unpickling from a GzipFile becomes O(n**2).

I will try to use peek() instead.
