Summary: zipfile -- too many files?

Initial Comment:
While creating a huge zipfile (probably too big) the
following error appeared.

Exception exceptions.OverflowError: 'long int too large
to convert to int' in <bound method ZipFile.__del__ of
<zipfile.ZipFile instance at 0x009BD198>> ignored

I assume this is during the closing of the zipfile,
further assuming too many files were added to the archive.

The zip file was on order of 6-9 GBs, surely over 32000
files.  I will give Python2.5 a shot and see how that works.

I've stumbled on another bug with tarfile.  It's not
reporting an error, but I only find 350 files when I
unarchive.  That's entirely different bug tho :-o

How large is the resulting file? Zipfile in python2.4 cannot handle zipfiles that 
require the zip64 extensions and fails misserably when you do cross that limit.

This was fixed in python 2.5.
