Hi Steven Every software "ecosystem" has its guidelines and I am a newbie about python development. Mmh I see your concerns. I agree about your deletions of all py 3 versions before the latest 3.9. About Py 2, I remark these facts: - there are a lot of forensics tools still written for py 2; - python 2.7.18 will be forever the last python 2 and I think is it fine to end-users to have zipfile with this feature both in py 2.7 and py 3.9; - in the code there isn't any new routine to test: the change is just to expose one internal variable. I agree my request is an exception but I think you have to agree this situation is exceptional. IMHO rules must exist to help us and I think this request doesn't carry any burden. I ask you please - to reconsider my request - anyway, to put me in contact with zipfile mainteners, I don't know how to reach them but I want to hear them about this.
