This is very minor so I did not create an issue on bugs.python.org.
I am working on a gzip-compatible library and used the tests from cpython to ensure that it was indeed compatible. I found these minor oversights when testing the library.
I also found test cases testing a Wbits of 32+15. Wbits sizes over 31 are undocumented in both the python and zlib documentation. Can anyone explain to me what these test cases are for, and why it is a hard requirement that these undocumented assumptions may never be broken by future python releases?I found it in the docs. It autodetects gzip or zlib style compression. That is quite a neat feature!
