[New-bugs-announce] [issue46880] zipfile library doesn't extract windows zip files properly on linux

[Nimrod Fiat]

New submission from Nimrod Fiat <nimrodf at google.com>:

Created a zip file using Powershell's Compress-Archive method. 
Moved the file to Debian. 
Used zipfile's extractall method to extract. 
The result was a flat directory with long file names such as:
"migrated-image952821\\m4a\\runiis.ps". 
I would expect instead for a "migrated-image952821" directory to be created, containing an "m4a" directory which contains "runiis.ps"
