New submission from Gavin D'souza <[email protected]>:
Related library: zipfile
Since zipfile allows relative dotted paths too, should shell-like paths,
specifically with ~ (tilde) be allowed too?
This feels like unexpected behaviour and confusing for users as method
"is_zipfile" returns False in case path doesn't exist as well. So,
zipfile.is_zipfile("~/incorrect/path/to/zip") as well as
zipfile.is_zipfile("~/path/to/zip") will return False
