Hello, .ZIP archive generation using setuptools seems to generate an invalid archive. The attached archive was created with setuptools: python setup.py sdist --format=zip
Analysing the hexdump and Zip-Parser's (https://github.com/alanhaggai/ Zip-Parser) output (attached file: zip_parser.out) it seems that the archive is corrupt. In its local file header and central directory file header for Foo-0.2.0/bar/__init__.py, compressed size is set to 2 (the compressed data being 0x03 and 0x00). Uncompressed size is set to 0! This has been confirmed using Ark (KDE archiving tool) and a snapshot has been attached. More details can be read at the bug reported against Archive::Zip Perl module - https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=68446 When zipfile was used to create the archive (that is, without using setuptools) this faulty behavior was not noticed. Please let me know if there is anyway that I can help.
