New submission from Malcolm Smith <malcolm.sm...@gmail.com>: The documentation explicitly says "file information is extracted as accurately as possible". But the `zipfile` module doesn't actually extract any metadata at all. I assume this text was copied and pasted from the `tarfile` module, which does implement this.
Fixing the code is preferred to fixing the documentation. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 307255 nosy: Malcolm Smith priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Contrary to documentation, ZipFile.extract does not extract timestamps or other metadata type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32170> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
