Stepan Kasal added the comment: I agree that reading from a file open for write should be forbidden, no matter whether ZipFile was called with fp or a name.
Actually, it is not yet forbidden, and two of the tests in the zipfile.py test suite do actually rely on this misfeature. The first chunk in the patch http://bugs.python.org/file24624/Proposed-fix-of-issue14099-second.patch contains a fix for this bug in test suite. OTOH, decompressing several files for a given zip file simultaneously does not sound that bad. You know, with all the current file managers, people look at a zip as if it were kind of a directory. ---------- nosy: +kasal _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16569> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
