Thanks.
So it seems I have to write my own code, there in nothing like I can set some flag.
Not in twisted.web, no.
So if that is the case shouldn't I just be gzipping and unzipping data write and read to request object.
Right - after all, that's really all my wrapper does (for the output/write case). If your application structure lends itself to processing the encoding more inline with your normal processing, that's perfectly acceptable too.
You'll still end up having to implement two paths (one for gzip and one for not) to support clients who don't accept the encoding, so you'll still probably find it smarter to extract out the compression for re-use.
In my case, I wanted to support naive, existing Resource implementations, making the gzip encoding operation a separable activity to the response data generation, so I went with the wrapper approach.
