That is interesting. I wonder if anyone else has had the same issue? Just to be thorough I tried to uncompress using both python 2.x and 3.x and the results are unreadable text files in both cases. I have no idea what the problem could be. Especially without some way to compare my files to the gunzip'ed files on a linux machine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
