Good idea, but the mess you posted is going to be virtually untestable 
whereas splitting it up into small testable functions will make it much 
easier for you to actually get somewhere near your goal of correct code.

BTW, by trimming half of my sentence you changed its meaning significantly. 
You implied that I gave an example without caring whether it could work 
whereas the other half of the sentence pointed out that if GZipFile 
requires it you may need to add a single function call to my code.
