# Basic syntax:
import gzip
with gzip.open("your_file.gz", mode="rt") as file:
file_as_list = file.read().splitlines()
# Where:
# - gzip.open allows you to open gzipped files like you would open regular
# files with open
# - the default mode is rb (read binary), which loads the file contents as
# binary strings. Use mode="rt" to read the file as text
# - .read() reads the entire file
# - .splitlines() splits the file by newline characters to create a list
# Note, see answer to "python open" for more ways to open and parse files
