Based on the file Waguy originally sent, you could try using this:
import zipfile, cStringIO
def getzip(filename, ignoreable=100):
try:
return zipfile.ZipFile(filename)
except zipfile.BadZipfile:
original = open(filename, 'rb')
try:
data = original.read()
finally:
original.close()
position = data.rindex(zipfile.stringEndArchive,
-(22 + ignoreable), -20)
coredata = cStringIO.StringIO(data[: 22 + position])
return zipfile.ZipFile(coredata)
