keeely added the comment: You can take the view that it's not a bug (with some justification), but a few lines in the cmd docs would make all the difference in terms of wasted time. I have now abandoned my Windows port and suggested users install WSL2 instead which is the easies

New submission from keeely : Python 2.7 allows one to capture from one file a list of ZipInfo objects, and then recreate a new file using those ZipInfo objects. The same thing appears to be impossible with Python 3 without resorting to monkey-patches because of a line of code in the
