It appears that there is no base class (zipfile.ZipError) for zipfile errors. 
Maybe there should be? At the moment, I do:

try:
   [...]
except zipfile.BadZipFile, zipfile.LargeZipFile:
   [...]

.. which is of course unreliable. There is no guarantee that a new exception 
class will not be added to zipfile (thus necessitating me to change my code). 
Better to have a single base class - zipfile.ZipError similar to TarError
