[issue10791] Wrapping TextIOWrapper around gzip files

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Since GZipFile inherits from BufferedIOBase, and TextIOWrapper is supposed to be designed to wrap a BufferedIOBase object, I would say yes it ought to work.  On the other hand there may also be a doc error there, since it may be that TextIOWrapper actually needs to wrap one of the subclasses of BufferedIOBase.
