Is there a way to decompress a large (2GB) gzipped file being
retrieved over FTP on the fly?
I'm using ftplib.FTP to open a connection to a remote server, and I
have had no success connecting retrbinary to gzip without using an
intermediate file.
Is there any way to get a file-like object describing the remote file,
or a way to utilize gzip's decompression without providing it a file-
like object?
gzip is really just a file format. In order to work with compressed
streams you should use the low level zlib module.

Have fun!
