[issue24358] Should compression file-like objects provide .fileno(), misleading subprocess?

[Josh Rosenberg]

Josh Rosenberg added the comment:

Apparently similar issue occurs when tarfile assumes a GzipFile can have its fileno() fstat-ed (see #22468). An awful lot of libraries seem to assume that fileno() will provide useful information about the data you'd read from the file-like object itself, but all the compressed file-like objects violate that expectation.
