[issue34606] Unable to read zip file with extra

[Andreas Gäer]

Andreas Gäer  added the comment:

I'm a little bit puzzled that this bug is closed as "not a bug" despite the 
fact that all versions of python allow the user to create "invalid" ZIP files 
and all version up to 3.7 are able to read those "invalid" files.

Currently we're stuck with a lot of already created ZIP files that cannot be 
read or fixed after an update to 3.7.

Would it be an option to make decoding of extra data optional eg. with an extra 
keyword arg to __init__?

[issue13702] relative symlinks in tarfile.extract broken (windows)

[Andreas Gäer]

Andreas Gäer added the comment:

Is there any progress to the question if the problem should be fixed in 
os.symlink or in tarfile?

Because this currently seems to break installing source packages that contain 
symlinks with pip under Windows.

Try: "pip install networkx==1.8.1" for example
