STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

I love "with ... as f:" and I want it for gzip/bz2 files!

Comment about the patch: 

(1) the IOError message is different for the two modules:
   "I/O operation on closed GzipFile object"
vs
   "I/O operation on closed file"

Specify the object name in both messages or remove it from both 
messages. I prefer verbose error message ("I/O operation on closed 
BZ2File object").

(2) For bz2module, Why don't you call BZ2File_close() directly instead 
of the generic version PyObject_CallMethod(... "close" ...)?
