New submission from keeely <s...@sophos.com>:
Python 2.7 allows one to capture from one file a list of ZipInfo objects, and then recreate a new file using those ZipInfo objects. The same thing appears to be impossible with Python 3 without resorting to monkey-patches because of a line of code in the writestr() code path ignoring the passed in value of ZipInfo and overwritting it with zeros.
