Actually, it doesn't -- I sent you the wrong version of the email.
THIS works (and is what actually produced the output above).
>>> bz2.decompress(eval('"' + user + '"'))
Sorry about that

Damn this is annoying me.
I have a webpage with a BZ2 compressed text embedded in it looking like:
'BZh91AY&SYA\xaf\x82\r\x00\x00\x01\x01\x80\x02\xc0\x02\x00 \x00!\x9ah3M
\x07<]\xc9\x14\xe1BA\x06\xbe\x084'
Now, if I simply copy and paste this into Python and decompress it - it
works a treat.
