New submission from Massimo Sala <massimo.sala...@gmail.com>:
module zipfile Tag "Components": I am not sure "Library (Lib)" is the correct one. If it isn't, please fix. I use python to check zip files against malware. In these files the are binary blobs outside the ZIP archive. The malware payload isn't inside the ZIP file structure. Example: a file "openme.zip" with this content : [blob from offset 0 to offset 5678] [ZIP archive from offset 5679 to end of file] zipfile already handles this, finding the ZIP structure inside the file. My change is just to add a new public property, to expose an internal variable: the file offset of the ZIP structure. I know, I am after the code freeze of Python 2.7.18. But the change is really trivial, see the diff. I hope you can approve this patch for all the Python versions, also for 2.7, to have consistency. For 2.7 this is the last call. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: py27_zipfile.patch keywords: patch messages: 366597 nosy: massimosala priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: zipfile module: new feature (two lines of code) type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file49067/py27_zipfile.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40301> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
