Kevin Hendricks <kevin.hendri...@sympatico.ca> added the comment:
Here is one potential patch. It simply incorporates and non-comment extraneous
data into a final comment so that nothing is lost. Another solution that might
be safer, would be to truncate the zip archive immediately after the endrec is
found if the extraneous data is not a properly formatted comment. The right
solution is obviously up to the developers of zipfile.py
