[Python-Dev] non-US zip archives support in zipfile.py

[Victor Stinner]

Both issues are related and should be fixed in the *same* commit.
Python should provide an option to encode explicitly filenames to
UTF-8. Or maybe better: encode to UTF-8 by default, with an option to
encode to cp437, and another to encode to an arbitrary encoding.
