Here is a patch which adds a member called is_finished to decompression
objects that allows client code to know when it has reached the end of
the compressed stream.

New submission from Travis Hassloch :
Underlying zlib can determine when it has hit the end of a compressed
stream without reading past the end. Python zlib implementation requires
that one read past the end before it signals the end by putting data in
Decompress.unused_data. This complicates
New submission from Travis Hassloch :
RFC 977 has been obsoleted by RFC 3977
Numerous new commands, standardized extensions, clarifications.
