`fileno` not available on `ZstdDecompressionReader`
According to the shipped typing stubs, ZstdDecompressionReader
implements the typing.BinaryIO
interface.
Unfortunately, it lacks the fileno()
method that is promised by BinaryIO
so this is a bit of a lie.
This breaks when trying to do something like:
>>> f = open('foo.zstd', 'rb')
>>> d = zstandard.ZstdDecompressor()
>>> g = d.stream_reader(f)
>>> subprocess.run(['cat'], stdin = g)

AttributeError: 'zstd.ZstdDecompressionReader' object has no attribute 'fileno'
Note that StringIO
in the standard library also doesn't support fileno
, but has instead chosen to raise an Exception when it is used like this, so a possible solution could be to just mimic that behaviour.
The "specification" for this is in the io module and says
Return the underlying file descriptor (an integer) of the stream if it exists. An OSError is raised if the IO object does not use a file descriptor.
