New submission from Erik Bray <erik.m.b...@gmail.com>:
Not that there is any great reason to write a zip file to /dev/null, but I had
some code that happened to do so which worked on Python 2.7, but at some point
this broke:
Python 3.8.0a0 (heads/master:fc7d1b3, Oct 5 2018, 09:49:57)
[GCC 4.8.4] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import zipfile
>>> f = zipfile.ZipFile('/dev/null', 'w')
>>> f.writestr('foo.txt', 'testtesttesttesttest')
>>> f.close()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/embray/src/python/cpython/Lib/zipfile.py", line 1813, in close
self._write_end_record()
File "/home/embray/src/python/cpython/Lib/zipfile.py", line 1914, in
_write_end_record
endrec = struct.pack(structEndArchive, stringEndArchive,
struct.error: argument out of range
