Ralf Schmitt <sch...@gmail.com> added the comment: I'd rather have an extractall version which just throws a RuntimeError than one which overwrites any file with any content on my filesystem if I'm trying to unzip a zip file. Then I at least know that I have to write my own version. Adding a warning to the documentation instead of fixing that bug was wrong for the tarfile module and is wrong for the zipfile module. The "release process" disagrees with me here, but I'd still call that wrong.
