@ -72,8 +72,11 @@ Handling of compressed files is offered by the :class:`BZ2File` class.
This class does not support input files containing multiple streams (such
as those produced by the :program:`pbzip2` tool). When reading such an
input file, only the first stream will be accessible. If you require
support for multi-stream files, consider using the third-party `bz2file
module <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bz2file>`_ instead of this class.
support for multi-stream files, consider using the third-party
:mod:`bz2file` module (available from
`PyPI <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bz2file>`_). This module provides a
backport of Python 3.3's :class:`BZ2File` class, which does support
multi-stream files.
