FTR Lars said that he prefered compat with the zipfile CLI, which is: Usage: zipfile.py -l zipfile.zip # Show listing of a zipfile zipfile.py -t zipfile.zip # Test if a zipfile is valid zipfile.py -e zipfile.zip target # Extract zipfile into target dir zipfile.py -c zipfile.zip src ... # Create zipfile from sources ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13477> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
