"""
Extended chunk so that it can also handle formats that are almost
according to EA IFF 85.  In particular, added options to handle
little-endian and to handle formats that include the header size in
the chunk size value.

Fixed a bug where the header size was included in the chunk size, which
it isn't according to EA IFF 85.

Added a new method getsize() to get the size of the chunk (excluding
header).

Fixed chunk documentation (TIFF doesn't look like it uses chunks).
Converted wave to use chunk.  Wave uses EA IFF 85 chunks except that
it uses little-endian encoding of integer data.

Removed __del__ methods from aifc and wave since I got an
AttributeError there upon exit.

624a191512 Patch from Sjoerd Mullender:
Make argument names equal to what is used in the documentation of the
file object, since chunks are supposedly file-like.

Added support for unseekable files.

(I use unqualified excepts since we don't know why the seek/tell might
fail.  In my case it was because of an AttributeError.)

math in the Chunk class.
