title: nntplib needs updating to RFC 3977
type: feature
New submission from Travis Hassloch :
Underlying zlib can determine when it has hit the end of a compressed
stream without reading past the end. Python zlib implementation requires
that one read past the end before it signals the end by putting data in
Decompress.unused_data. This complicates
Travis Hassloch added the comment:
Attached is a difference which implements CAPABILITIES and MODE READER
and leaves some TODO comments for other RFC 3977 commands.

Travis Hassloch added the comment:
Here is a patch which adds a member called is_finished to decompression
objects that allows client code to know when it has reached the end of
the compressed stream.
