Alan McIntyre added the comment: Since there's no reply about where ZIP files with appended 'garbage' might come from, should this be closed? I agree with amk; it doesn't seem wise to ignore incorrectly formatted files without a good reason.
On a related note, it seems that correctly formatted ZIP files with comments longer than 4k will not be recognized as a ZIP file by the zipfile module. There's some comment about not looking at more than the last 4k of the file for "efficiency" reasons, but failing to interpret a correct file seems to override the efficiency concern of reading/searching another 60k of data. I'll open a separate tracker item for this, since it's not strictly related to the original issue. ---------- nosy: +alanmcintyre ____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue774221> ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
