[issue1675951] [gzip] Performance for small reads and fix seek problem

[Karl D'Adamo]

Karl D'Adamo <karld-python at ofb.net> added the comment:

This patch is awesome.  It makes it possible to do this with http
response objects that return gzipped streams:

>>> conn = httplib.HTTPConnection('blah')
>>> req = conn.request('GET', 'a.gz')
>>> resp = conn.getresponse()
>>> unzipper = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=resp)
# read just the first 100 lines
>>> for i in range(100):
    print unzipper.readline()
