Python gzip: is there a way to decompress from a string?
If your data is already in a string, try zlib, which claims to be fully gzip compatible:
import zlibdecompressed_data = zlib.decompress(gz_data, 16+zlib.MAX_WBITS)Read more: http://docs.python.org/library/zlib.html
gzip.open is a shorthand for opening a file, what you want is gzip.GzipFile which you can pass a fileobj
open(filename, mode='rb', compresslevel=9) #Shorthand for GzipFile(filename, mode, compresslevel).vs
class GzipFile __init__(self, filename=None, mode=None, compresslevel=9, fileobj=None) # At least one of fileobj and filename must be given a non-trivial value.so this should work for you
gzip_file_handle = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=url_file_handle)
You can use gzip.decompress from the gzip builtin Python library(available for Python 3.2+).
Example on how to decompress bytes:
import gzipgzip.decompress(gzip_data)Documentation
