I think it may be good enough to add a warning on skipped files in _unpack_zipfile(). - this way we keep backwards compatibility (especially since behavior in both modules differed for such a long time.) - it's not clear that ZipFile behavior is superior -- for example, what if a file with stripped path components overwrites existing files? - if requested in the future, a parameter can be added to enable ZipFile-like behavior - it can be very confusing if files are silently skipped, especially if an archive has thousands of files. I've added a PR, note that the test in PR also tests that files with '..' are indeed skipped, we don't have a test for that now, so that's an added benefit. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue20907> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
