Based on the source-code to zipfile.py on my Debian machine, it 
looks like the zipfile.ZipFile constructor takes a "file" 
parameter.  It then checks if it's a string (isinstance() of 
basestring) and opens that file if it is; otherwise, it assumes 
it's a file-like object and uses that, so in theory, you should 
be able to do something like

   fp = cString(...)
   zf = zipfile.ZipFile(fp, ...)

and it should Just Work(tm).
