* Add name and mode attributes for compressed and archived file-like objects
in modules bz2, lzma, tarfile and zipfile.
* Change the value of the mode attribute of GzipFile from integer (1 or 2)
to string ('rb' or 'wb').
* Change the value of the mode attribute of ZipExtFile from 'r' to 'rb'.
Remove the buffering parameter of bz2.BZ2File. Since Python 3.0, it
was ignored and using it was emitting a DeprecationWarning. Pass an
open file object to control how the file is opened.
The compresslevel parameter becomes keyword-only.
* Docs: Add bz2 usage examples
- Adds an "Examples of usage" section inspired by the one
found in the gzip docs
- Corrects the descriptions for ``compresslevel`` and ``data``:
- ``compresslevel`` must be an `int`, not any number. For
instance, passing a float will raise ``TypeError``
- Notes that `data` must be bytes-like
GzipFile, BZ2File or LZMAFile. This defeats denial of service attacks
using compressed bombs (i.e. compressed payloads which decompress to a huge
size).
Patch by Martin Panter and Nikolaus Rath.
- Remove duplicated list of links to the other modules from each
module’s doc (people can already go up to library/archiving and
there they can see the list).
- Link to shutil high-level operations.

Fixes bug 477182 on pybsddb.sf.net. DB objects now load the flags and
pay attention to them when opening an existing database. This means
that d[] behaves properly even on databases previously created with DB_DUP
or DB_DUPSORT flags to allow duplicate keys.

Do not backport, this bugfix could be considered an API change.
