Ungzip a string in Python – gzinflate in Python

I was very surprised that I couldn’t do this easily in Python, so here is the solution to this:

import zlib
# ...
ungziped_str = zlib.decompressobj().decompress('x\x9c' + gziped_str)

Wow, PHP does it like this:

$ungziped_str = gzinflate($gziped_str);
