gziped torrents

[KD8EYF]

on some torrent feeds the .torrent files are actually gziped without a .gz extension, this causes

"Create new temporary directory... done!
Now fetching the bittorrent data
Download Error: not a valid bencoded string
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/mythnettv/mythnettvcore.py", line 121, in DownloadAndImport
out=out) == True:
File "/usr/share/mythnettv/program.py", line 441, in Download
verbose=FLAGS.verbose, out=out)
File "/usr/share/mythnettv/plugins/bittorrent.py", line 70, in Download
metainfo = bencode.bdecode(torrent_file.read())
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bencode-1.0-py2.7.egg/bencode/init.py", line 68, in bdecode
raise BTFailure("not a valid bencoded string")
BTFailure: not a valid bencoded string
"

changing
torrent_file = open(torrent_filename)
to
torrent_file = gzip.open(torrent_filename)
works..
Ill see if i can make the auto detect a gzip header and decompress if it is

did you ever get this solved? This might help

import gzip
import magic

m=magic.open(magic.MAGIC_MIME)
m.load()
if 'x-gzip' in m.file(filename):
    filetmp = filename+'.gz' 
    os.rename(filename,filetmp)
     f_in = gzip.open(filetmp, 'rb')
     f_out = open(filename, 'wb')
     f_out.writelines(f_in)
     f_out.close()
     f_in.close()
     os.remove(filetmp)

no I have not. I am unhappy with adding another dependency (magic) to the
code.
