[New-bugs-announce] [issue19222] gzip and 'x' mode open

[Tim Heaney]

New submission from Tim Heaney:

This is analogous to issue19201, but for gzip. Recent versions of Python have an 'x' mode for open, but gzip doesn't support it. It looks like everything is passed to builtins.open eventually, so if we just allow the 'x' option to pass through, all will be well.
