[issue4710] [PATCH] zipfile.ZipFile does not extract directories properly

Koen van de Sande <koen at tibed.net> added the comment:

I'm no expert, but is it possible for ZIP files to have Windows-style 
path seperators ('\') as well?
And is this new behavior desirable for existing code as well? It might 
break existing applications, so perhaps a new extractrecursive() 
function is more intuitive.
Finally, I've noticed that the patch does not add any tests to test for 
the new/old behavior.
