Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I quote from Gregory P. Smith (msg91897):
""" The decryption provided by the zipfile module is for the worthless 32-bit crc based "encryption" of zipfiles. I think promoting the use of that is a bad idea. zipfile can be used by people to get their data out of such files. We should not encourage them to put it and/or their code into such a stupid format. """ I think that the effort required for speedup of this almost useless feature is excessive. If someone want to implement the "strong encryption" for zip files - welcome. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10030> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
