According to this (old) hint:
I experienced that the zipfile module doesn't work at all (at least in Python 2.3); the files were often broken (i.e. no other zip program could open them), and it couldn't handle a lot of zip files by other apps. AFAIK the only *known* limitation is with really huge files, though. Thus I always use an external app for archive handling, even if I don't like that approach.
