It wouldn't hurt, but ...
Actually, it is the underlying file that should be opened in
binary mode.
I just looked at the source for the zipfile module. It throws
away the 'b' if the mode contains a 'b'.
If you pass it a file name, zipfile always opens the underlying
file in binary mode. If you pass in a file, then it is your
responsibility to open that file in binary mode.
