fileinput.hook_compressed()

fileinput.hook_compressed(filename, mode)

Transparently opens files compressed with gzip and bzip2 (recognized by the extensions '.gz' and '.bz2') using the gzip and bz2 modules. If the filename extension is not '.gz' or '.bz2', the file is opened normally (ie, using open() without any decompression).

Usage example: fi = fileinput.FileInput(openhook=fileinput.hook_compressed)
