[issue10791] Wrapping TextIOWrapper around gzip files

[David Beazley]

New submission from David Beazley <dave at dabeaz.com>:

Is something like this supposed to work:

>>> import gzip
>>> import io
>>> f = io.TextIOWrapper(gzip.open("foo.gz"),encoding='ascii'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: readable

In a nutshell--reading a .gz file as text.
