I'm not going to have time to look at the PR for a couple days. I don't understand what the use case is for writing or appending with filenames in a non-UTF-8 encoding. At least in my experience, reading such files is rare, but I have never been asked to write one. The correspondents who send me zipfiles with the directory encoded in shift_jisx0213 are perfectly happy to read zipfiles with the directory encoded in UTF-8. If that is true for other users, then unzipping the file to a temporary directory with the appropriate --metadata-encoding, adding the required paths there, and zipping a new archive seems perfectly workable. In that case making this feature read-only makes the most sense to me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue28080> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
