[issue40885] Cannot pipe GzipFile into subprocess

[SilentGhost]

SilentGhost <ghost.adh at runbox.com> added the comment:

> subprocess somehow gets a hold of the underlying file descriptor pointing to the compressed file, and ends up being fed the compressed bytes

That is exactly what happens, and I'd wager this is not going to change. You could easily pass the decoded bytes into the process using input parameter.
