Feature request: allow reading from buffer

[joelb123]

I'm enabling reading of GFF files from a URL with decompression. Pandas can do this, and can also read from a buffer-like object, but _read_gff_header explicitly opens a file, thus requiring explicit downloads to a local file. I believe that files also get opened twice, once in the header read and a second time by pandas.

Please allow input of buffer objects.

Hi,
Thanks for pointing out us for this feature.
I just took over in this project and I will start to add more feature including what you have mentioned.
