I'm hoping to add BZIP2 compression to zipfile for 2.5. My primary motivation is that Project Gutenberg seems to be starting to use BZIP2 compression for some of its zips. What other wish list things do people around here have for zipfile? I thought I'd collect input here and make a PEP.

I can open a pseudo-file for STORED files in binary read mode, for
example, to allow reading zip-in-zip files without fully occupying
memory.

I'm not sure that zipfile needs BZIP2 support...being that there is a bzip2 module.

Note that the bzip2 module is named bz2 and does provide a file-like-interface. Also, it is implemented entirely as a C extension (ick).
