In the zlib.compressobj documentation the default value of the compress level is -1 while it is actually 6. patch is included |

I’m not sure that is perfectly correct. It really does default to -1, and that is passed to the underlying zlib library (-1 = Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION). It is the zlib library that decides that this means 6, but in theory I guess it could be configured or modified in the future with a different default. Perhaps we should clarify the text in the documentation (including the doc string) to say this instead? At the very least, the documentation should continue to say that -1 is acceptable, and what it means. |

I think that we can leave the level=-1 as the default in the documentation. What should be added is what Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION means. I tried to be as close as possible to the zlib module documentation. |

I also made a small change to the compressobj() doc string. |
