Hi All,<br><br>I have implemented the simple zip decryption in C (yes, the much loathed weak password based classical<br>PKWARE encryption, which incidentally is the only one currently supported in python) .<br><br>It performs fast, as one would expect, as compared to the current all-python implementation.<br>

<br>Does it sound worthy enough to create a patch for and integrate into python itself?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Regards<br>Shashank Singh<br>Senior Undergraduate, Department of Computer Science and Engineering<br>Indian Institute of Technology Bombay<br>
