Just for completeness as suggested this also does not fail:

class OpenAndRead(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, lock):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.lock = lock

    def run(self):
         global fz
         with self.lock:
             fz.read(100)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    lock = threading.Lock()
    fz = gzip.open('bigfile.avi.gz')
    for i in range(20):
         OpenAndRead(lock).start()
