Kevin Ar18 added the comment: Just some thoughts.... In posting about this problem elsewhere, it has been argued that you shouldn't be copying that much stuff into memory anyways (though there are possible cases for a need for that). However, the question is what should the zipfile module do. At the very least it should account for this 2GB limitation and say it can't do it. However, how it should interact with the programmer is another question. In one of the replies, I am told that strings have a 2GB limitation, which means the zipfile module can't be used in it's current form, even if fixed. Does this mean that the zipfile module needs to add some additional methods for incrementally getting data and writing data? Or does it mean that programmers should be the ones to program an incremental system when they need it... Or?
