Wolfgang: If the patch here is too massive, perhaps you might like to review my 
patch at Issue 23528 first. :) It only fixes the “gzip” module, but is 
definitely simpler, so might have more chance of making it into 3.4 or 3.5 on 
time.

Changes introduced by patch v7 if anyone’s interested: 
<https://bitbucket.org/vadmium/cpython/commits/b7c43f7>. A few problems and 
behaviour changes are introduced:

* GzipFile(filename=...).close() now relies on the garbage collector to close 
the file
* EOFError("Compressed file ended before the end-of-stream marker was reached") 
repaced with “struct.error” exception in some cases, e.g. 
GzipFile(fileobj=BytesIO(gzip_data[:3])).read()
* Premature EOF when stream ends in some cases, e.g. 
GzipFile(fileobj=BytesIO(empty_gzip + gzip_data)).read()

However I think the general idea of inheriting the common reader class and 
overriding as necessary is sound. Just looks like the code got too messed 
around in the process.
