gopen 0.6.2

A generic context manager for readable files.

Provides the gopen.readable() and gopen.gread() functions.

readable(source) supports with statements for readable file objects:

>>> with gopen.readable(source) as f:
>>>     <read from f>

gread(source) returns an iterator over input lines:

>>> from gopen import gread
>>> lines = gread(source)
>>> lines
<generator object gread at 0x7f45752ebf10>

<source> can be:

• a readable file object,

• a file descriptor and

• a file pathname.

gzip and bzip2-compressed files will be decompressed on the fly. No side effects: if source is a file descriptor or a file handle, it will not be closed.
