A workaround for my use case is even simpler, something like this:
try:
handle = gzip.open(filename, "rt")
except ValueError:
# Workaround for Python 2.7 under Windows
handle = gzip.open(filename, "r")
However, even this is troublesome for use in documentation intended to work on Python 2 and 3, over Linux, Mac and Windows.
