Zip, Encrypted, Gziped files with Python
<p>I have to deal with a "proprietary" file format that's nothing more than a bunch of text files, which each has been gzip'd, then encrypted, and then finally all of them bundled in a zip file. I'm using python to automate the extraction of these files. So the unzipping is easy with ZipFile. Then I have a list of xyz_001.gz.rc4 files which I can decrypt with RC4 + key. Then, however, that leaves me with a gz stream, and cannot use gzip standard library module to open that stream. I suppose I could store that stream to disk and then open that gz file, but I was wondering if there was a more graceful way to handle it. </p>

<p>Help is much appreciated.</p>
