[issue10447] zipfile: IOError for long directory paths on Windows

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

I agree with Amaury.  IMO the IOError is the correct error, since it is bubbling up unexpectedly (from zipfile's viewpoint) from a lower layer and is not an error specific to the zip protocol implementation. (CF the discussion surrounding PEP 3151).

Probably there should indeed be a common base class for the existing zipfile errors, but that's a feature request.
