bz2.BZ2File doesn't support name?
I was surprised recently to discover that BZ2File (at least in 3.7) doesn't have a name attribute. Is there some fundamental reason name couldn't be supported, or is it just a bug that it wasn't implemented?
I think one of the issues is that BZ2File accepts the filename as a name or as a file-like object!
I don't see why it couldn't be enhanced to provide the filename though (by pulling it from the fp). Meanwhile, the ugly way to get the filename from a BZ2File object:
pbryan@dynamo:~$ python3 Python 3.9.3 (default, Apr 8 2021, 23:35:02) [GCC 10.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import bz2 f = bz2.BZ2File("test.bz2") f._fp.name
'test.bz2'

There is an open bug report https://bugs.python.org/issue24258
I guess it was overlooked. It could be a good task for someone interested. Please add me as a reviewer if you submit a patch, I can help review and move it forward.

I just added the .name property to bz2.Bzip2File and added a test to verify it. -- H

I am new and I am just lurking here, so please pardon me if I say or do anything out of place.
I saw your patch Mr. Diwan and I want to say that instead of making `filename` attribute, it would be better to change it to `name`, just to adhere to standards. And changing the name method to something else or even removing it.
Hello Hasan,
Thank you. Please submit your patch as a PR in Github. https://devguide.python.org/pullrequest/ Also, why did you have a self.filename and (getter?) as name. You could set the attribute as name.
Thank you, Senthil
