There are a couple of files of low level awful bzip2 stuff in python we need for beeing to seek around and find block boundaries in ginormous files. The python code is ewwww gross. We would likely be better off hacking up the bzip2 library and using that instead of the current python interface to the standard bzip2 library. Question is how worth it is it to invest more time into that. Low priority for now.
