From 1ecb5ce70762b979111ed4f0388d419f76c70867 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Berker Peksag Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 23:57:42 +0300 Subject: Issue #24496: Backport gzip examples to Python 2. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit gzip.open() supports context management protocol in Python 2, so it's better to use it in the examples section.
