Support gzip on the fly

[balloob]

Python includes a built-in gzip module which since Python 3.2 supports gzip.compress(…).

Do you think it would make sense to allow on the fly gzip encoding?

Hi @balloob,

Would probably make sense, but I am not sure if it is that easy because normally you want to stream the response and not first load the whole file, compress it and then serve it.

Also check out wsgizgip, which is a very simple gzip wsgi wrapper.

Maybe that is already enough for you?
