Description

Hi,

I was trying to open zipped Stata files and thought one could do it as in read_csvusing the compression='zip' keyword option. Is this not implemented? Saw #15644 and follow ups, but at the time it seems the discussion was about output not input files. In many cases providers give Stata files in zip format, which e.g. in my case may mean 1000's of different zipped archives containing Stata + other files. #12103 seems to have added the functionality more generally, but at least in pd.__version__=0.23.4 it still complains when passing the compression keyword. I do not see the option in pandas/io/stata.py although in common.py the option seems to be there. Any pointers? I am happy to contribute if I can figure out where and how this is implemented for other formats.
