New submission from Ryan Kelly : The zipfile module is prominently documented as "This module does not currently handle...ZIP files which have appended comments". But as far as I can tell, it handles them fine - there's even a "comment" property on the ZipFile object that you can set to modify the comment. I attach a simple doc patch that removes the apparently out-of-date information. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: zipfile_comment_doc.patch keywords: patch messages: 110147 nosy: docs@python, rfk priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: zipfile incorrectly documented as not supporting archive comments versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17973/zipfile_comment_doc.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue9238 _______________________________________
