Category: Library (Lib) Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: John M. Baughman (scuzball1) Assigned to: Greg Ward (gward) Summary: Fix zip file header format in zipfile.py Initial Comment: The zip file header unpack format uses signed longs for those values. For the readfile function to work with very large files (2GB+ in my case) it needs to use unsigned longs. In the case of these files, the readfile code would break with a memory error when trying to buffer backwards in memory since the value is converted to a signed long producing a negative value. This patch converts the header unpack format to use unsigned longs. -John M.

Got in a slight hurry last night and didn't complete the description well enough. -John M.
