Message 35702 - Python tracker

Rather than introducing a new method, why not just add an optional maxlen argument to .decompress().  I think the changes would be:

* add 'int maxlen=-1;'
* add "...|i" ... ,&maxlen to the argument parsing
* if maxlen != -1, length = maxlen else length = DEFAULTALLOC;
* Add '&& maxlen==-1' to the while loop.  (Use the current CVS; I just checked in a patch rearranging the zlib module a bit.)

Do you want to make those changes and resubmit the patch?
