[issue34393] json.dumps - allow compression

[liad]

liad <liad at mailinator.com> added the comment:

The gzip module may work for saving file localy but for example:

This upload json to Google Storage:

import datalab.storage as storage
storage.Bucket('mybucket').item(path).write_to(json.dumps(response), 'application/json')

Your won't work here unless I save the file locally and only then upload it... It's a bit of a problem when your files are  100 GBs+

I still think the json.dump() should support compression
