The zlib C library has the capability to indicate the end of a compressed stream by returning a Z_STREAM_END from a call to inflate. This allows uncompressed data to follow some compressed data. It is necessary to know when the end of the compressed stream has been reached so that one can query the "unused_data" attribute. However, there is no way for python to know that the end of a compressed stream has been reached. I will shortly be submitting a small patch that creates a python integer attribute called "is_finished" which evaluates to 1 when the end of a compressed stream has been reached. |

This is a duplicate of #5210, which has a patch attached. |
