webassets plugin filter 'gzip' not working about pelican-plugins

[kylef]

Looking at the release notes, they removed gzip.

0.9 (2013-10-25)

webassets now support Python 3, and drops support for Python 2.5.

• The gzip filter was removed.

Looking at the commit message miracle2k/webassets@d0fb241 there is an explanation to why.

It turns out that it is a problem on Python 2 as well. Obviously,
merging the output of the gzip filter with that of a text filter
(which all use unicode) wouldn't work. While that makes little
sense in practice, it turns out that the code that processes
filters failed with the gzip output due to it's assumptions about
unicode. While I could have worked around this in theory, I don't
think it's worthwhile adding another hack for this.

Either we want gzip or not, and if we do, we'll need to find a
proper solution that works on Python 3 as well.

Thanks for the heads-up, Randall. And kudos to Kyle for digging into why. (^_^)

Thanks guys! I completely missed that. Spent a bunch of time searching for gzip on their docs, and didn't even think to look in the changelog! ^^

@rdegges git grep is your friend. Spotted it in the change log.

• git grep gzip to find references to it.
• git blame to find the commit a line was changed.
• git log | grep -B 4 gzip to find commits referencing gzip.

That is totally awesome. I've never even heard of git grep before, and I've been using git for almost 5 years -_-

Thanks again >:)
