Python example: possible speedup?

Thanks for your comments.  The package files aren't *humongous*, but
they aren't exactly small either.  One file is 700K, and the other is
3M large.  It would be really nice if it were possible to process them
in a stream.

But I'll try it, for the sake of argument, and see if the speedup is
worth it.

I'll try this too, and get back to you.  That change will actually
make the code more correct because it will no longer assume that
`Package' header comes before `Status' and `Installed-Size' headers.
