R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

I agree with Amaury.  IMO the IOError is the correct error, since it is 
bubbling up unexpectedly (from zipfile's viewpoint) from a lower layer and is 
not an error specific to the zip protocol implementation. (CF the discussion 
surrounding PEP 3151).

Probably there should indeed be a common base class for the existing zipfile 
errors, but that's a feature request.
