Ned Deily added the comment: It appears that not including the OS value in the header is probably more of a feature rather than a bug considering how long the gzip module has been around with this behavior. Have you found any real-life cases where it makes a difference?
In any case, the os.platform value 'mac' referred to ancient Mac OS Classic (Mac OS 9 and earlier), platforms current Pythons do not support. Current Mac OS X systems are platform 'darwin' and would use the same gzip value as platform 'posix'. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27525> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
