Yes, that was a typo, sorry.

Thanks for your comments.

One colleague suggested using a named pipe. The mod_python process would 
fork a child process, which would set up the named pipe for the 
decompressed stream. The parent would wait until this is done and then use 
the named pipe filename with req.sendfile. Any idea if something like that 
would work?
