[issue12559] gzip.open() needs an optional encoding argument

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

There remains a difference between open() and gzip.open():
open(filename, 'r', encoding=None) is a text file (with a default encoding), gzip.open() with the same arguments returns a binary file.

Don't know how to fix this though.
