[New-bugs-announce] [issue27450] bz2: BZ2File should expose compression level as an attribute

[Josh Triplett]

New submission from Josh Triplett:

(This exists in both Python 3 and Python 2.)

When opening an existing .bz2 file with BZ2File, I'd like to have access to the compression level, so that I don't have to manually parse the file's header to get it.  BZ2File could provide the compression level as an attribute on itself.
