One could also avoid creating the intermediate file by using a
StringIO to keep it in memory instead:

import gzip
from cStringIO import StringIO

in_file = gzip.open('2012-January.txt.gz')
tmp_file = StringIO(in_file.read())
in_file.close()
in_file = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=tmp_file)
out_file = open('2012-January.txt', 'wb')
out_file.write(in_file.read())
in_file.close()
out_file.close()

Sadly, GzipFile won't read directly from another GzipFile instance
(ValueError: Seek from end not supported), so some sort of
intermediate is necessary.
