What do you mean? Not inside a zip file. The default encoding is CP437 (the original IBM PC US character set). A zipfile password is a sequence of bytes, not characters, as defined in the specification. Probably this issue has to wait until it is decided what to do in the general case; anyway, encoding the password to bytes at the application level seems to be safer. ---------- nosy: +gagenellina _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4871> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
