Daniel Holth added the comment: The documentation should read
The ZIP file format supports Unicode filenames. If you have unicode filenames, zipfile will encode them to and from utf-8 internally, but if you pass bytes filenames to write() then they will be stored without a specified encoding. Even though the format itself supports Unicode, historically Windows' built-in ZIP utility has interpreted all ZIP filenames as CP437 also known as DOS Latin. There is a fix from Microsoft for Windows 7 available here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2704299 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27344> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
