Python list archives double-gzipped?

Playing around with the mbox module, I reached into the archives[1] to grab some real-world data files[2]. To successfully unpack the contents to an mbox file, I had to do the following: bash$ gunzip 2012-July.txt.gz bash$ mv 2012-July.txt 2012-July.txt.gz bash$ gunzip 2012-July.txt.gz So
