Is negative seek() from EOF of a GzipFile supported on Python 2.5.2 ?

Hi Mark, I googled a bit, and found http://bugs.python.org/issue1355023. It seems that this patch implemented fuller seek() for GzipFile around November 2006 (including whence==2). Do I misunderstand and this patch was not actually implemented, namely, is seek(-n,2) not implemented in Python 2.5
