New submission from Richard Milne: Reading the pkzip APPNOTE and the documentation for the zipfile module, I was under the impression that I could set the DEFLATE compression level, on a per-file basis, for each file added to an archive, by setting the appropriate bits in zipinfo.flag_bits. You can't. Hence the attached patch, which updates the docs, tests and module source to enables this ability and makes the user aware of it. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib), Tests files: zipfileinfo.diff keywords: patch messages: 205284 nosy: docs@python, rmilne priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: zipfile ignores deflate level settings in zipinfo object type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file32984/zipfileinfo.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19894> _______________________________________
