Probably nobody has noticed it until now. It seems to be a quirk of the archive files that they are double-gzipped, and most people probably just use gunzip or gzcat (or a higher-level tool that invokes those) to extract them, which seems to be smart enough to handle it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
