Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Indeed, the note is outdated and incorrect. First, general unicode filename are allowed. They are encoded with UTF-8 internally. Second, currently there is no way to create an entry without encoding the filename to UTF-8 (if it is not ASCII-only). So you can't create ZIP file with arbitrary encoding (e.g. cp866) for old DOS/Windows unzippers.
Adding support of bytes filenames is different issue (issue10757). ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka stage: -> needs patch versions: -Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24110> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
