Summary: Zipfile robustness
Initial Comment:
One of the ways that zipfile.ZipFile checks for a valid zipfile is by
confirming that the specified comment length matches the found comment. I have
encountered zipfiles in the wild that indicate a comment length of 0, but have
filled the comment area with an arbitrary amount of nulls. In the interests of
robustness, I think that "comment = comment.rstrip('\x00') should be added to
the zipfile check.
