Gregory P. Smith added the comment: The issue here was that reading more data than will fit into an in memory string fails. While the zipfile module could detect this in some cases, it is not really worth such a runtime check. This is just a fact of python and of sane programming, if you're reading data from a file like object you should never use unbounded reads without having checked your input for sanity first.
