Python has great in-built support for all sorts of text compression
including bzip, gzip, tarfile and other general purpose modules like
zlib etc.
Of these, I have a gripe with gzip - it does not provide a simple
way of compressing/uncompressing a string like the other modules
to (namely bzip, zli

I also think gzip.compress() and gzip.decompress() would

Try this in Python 3.0 trunk.

This is wrong behavior as compress functions should
