[New-bugs-announce] [issue7169] zipfile leaves a file handle open if file is zero size

[skelker]

New submission from skelker <steve.kelker at dtn.com>:

I noticed today if I attempt to create a ZipFile object for read access,
and the zip file is zero bytes, the ZipFile object throws an exception,
but there is still an open handle to the file.  So if I catch that
exception, and then try to delete the file, the delete then fails.  I
have attached a script that replicates the issue.
