I need to randomly access a bzip2 or gzip file. How can I set the offset

Pointers in this direction will help.
with gzip.open(filename) as f:
f.seek(some_pos)
print(f.readline())
f.seek(some_pos)
print(f.readline())
seems to work as expected. Can you tell a bit more about your usecase (if it
isn't covered by that basic example)?
I don't recommend to seek backward in compressed file. This is very
inefficient operation.
