It would be nice if uzlib module supported streamed decompression.

Usecase: Suppose I have a gzipped image file (PPM.GZ) stored on Flash/SD card. This file can be a few kilobytes big and I want to decompress its contents and dump into the LCD driver. Currently I cannot do this, because I have to decompress the whole file into main memory (using zlib.decompress), which is bad, because this data are often bigger than the whole RAM.

Or am I missing something?

I guess ideally there could be a function that gets file object (I think read(size) method could be enough) as a parameter and returns another file object.
