New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storch...@gmail.com>: ZIP File Format Specification (http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT) supports bzip2 compression since at least 2003. Since bzip2 contained in Python standart library, it would be nice to add support for these method in zipfile. This will allow to process more foreign zip files and create more compact distributives.
The proposed patch adds new method ZIP_BZIP2, which is automatically detecting when unpacking and that can be used for packing. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: bzip2_in_zip.patch keywords: patch messages: 156394 nosy: storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add support for bzip2 compression to the zipfile module type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24956/bzip2_in_zip.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14371> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
