Alan McIntyre added the comment: The reported warning was being produced when writing the "end of central directory record", in ZipFile.close().
Based on a little experiment with 70k test text files, the default archiver in OS X appears to just use the number of files mod 64k in the end of central directory record. I tweaked the ZipFile close() method to do this, and the resulting ZIP file appears to work just fine, both with the OS X archiver and with ZipFile (without ZIP64 enabled). There's a blurb in the ZIP format description about this sort of thing: "If an archive is in ZIP64 format and the value in this field is 0xFFFF, the size will be in the corresponding 8 byte zip64 end of central directory field." I don't know if that means "the right thing" is to switch the archive to ZIP64 format if more than 64k files are added, though. If I have time I'll go look at some other open source ZIP implementations, but I won't swear I'll ever get around to it. :) ---------- nosy: +alanmcintyre __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1526> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
