Agreed. We already do produce some informational messages via the documented 'ZipFile.debug' attribute. Just checking that flag and producing a message to stdout like we do in other cases is one option. Another, as you suggested already, is to provide a strict flag that indicates an exception should be thrown upon encountering an ill-formed file. I like the idea of reusing what we already have. Although, when it fails, it doesn't fail loudly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14315> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
