Yes, there is a special flag for this in zipfile. It is named allowZip64. The only reason to use allowZip64=False is when you expect to unzip a zipfile with a tool which doesn't support zip64 (PKUNZIP.EXE for DOS?) and you want to keep yourself from unintentional zipping a file larger than 2 GiB. Perhaps sometime we should to change the default value for allowZip64 from False to True. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17189> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
