I'm hoping to add BZIP2 compression to zipfile for 2.5. My primary
motivation is that Project Gutenberg seems to be starting to use BZIP2

people around here have for zipfile? I thought I'd collect input here
and make a PEP.
Encryption/decryption support. Will most likely require a C extension
since the algorithm relies on ints (or longs, don't remember) wrapping
around when the value becomes too large.
I'm trying to use byte-block streams (iterators taking iterables) as
the basic structure of getting data in and out. I think the encryption/
decryption can then be plugged in at the right point. If it can be set
up properly, you can import the encryption separately and connect it to
zipfiles with a call. Would this address what you want? I believe
there is an issue actually building in the encryption/decryption in
terms of redistribution.
