No, actually it would only slow down for files which do have comments, assuming I understand the code correctly. IME most zipfiles don't have any comments at all, and would be unaffected. To be honest, if I had even known that zipfiles could have comments before I ran into this, I'd long since forgotten it. > You don't need to do that, you can just "monkey patch" the _EndRecData > function. For a quick & dirty test, sure. If I were certain I'd only ever use this on one machine for a limited time (viz, no system upgrades that replace zipfile.py) it might suffice. But that doesn't generalize worth a damn. -- Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. -- Henry Peter Brougham -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
