Tomeu,
The zipfile.is_zipfile(filename) method solved my problem. I was able
to successfully share a Zip file between two computers running my
activity. Still some kinks to iron out, though. I'll keep your
suggestion in mind for the future.
Thanks,
James Simmons

Tomeu and Michael,
It turns out Python has a method you can pass a filename to and it will
identify if the file is a Zip file or not, based on the "magic number", not
the filename. It seems to do the trick.
As a rule of thumb, I would first try to get a mime-type I can trust,
and only if I cannot (I get for example application/octet-stream), I
would try to sniff the type.
But in your case you may be right by just sniffing it.
