Summary: marshal module won't use gzip module

Initial Comment:
marshal.dump/load complain that the file object returned by gzip.open is not a file. 

f = gzip.open(filename, 'wb')
marshal.dump(value, f)
f.close()

fails, but it is possible do the following which seems to indicate that gzip files should be usable directly by marshal:

f = gzip.open(filename, 'wb')
f.write(marshal.dumps(value))
f.close()
