Comment (by nils):

 I have applied your patch against 1.3.0.dev6450.

 Before I have applied the patch I get


 {{{
 python -i ticket_995.py
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "ticket_995.py", line 5, in ?
     numpy.load(g)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/lib/io.py", line 150, in
 load
     fid.seek(-N,1) # back-up
 TypeError: seek() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)
 >>> g
 <gzip open file 'test.gz', mode 'r' at 0x40fad218 0x40fa2f8c>
 }}}


 With the patch


 {{{
 python -i ticket_995.py
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "ticket_995.py", line 5, in ?
     numpy.load(g)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/lib/io.py", line 197, in
 load
     raise IOError, \
 IOError: Failed to interpret file <gzip open file 'test.gz', mode 'r' at
 0x40fac260 0x40fa214c> as a pickle
 }}}
