Xiang Zhang added the comment:

The "compressed stream" is not the underlying file object but _GzipReader. And actually the "at most one single reader" is the characteristic of io.BufferedReader.peek, you can see it in the doc. Maybe it needs multiple reads on the file object in a single peek, but they are all encapsulated in the _GzipReader.read. So at the point of GzipFile.peek, it's still a single read.
