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.

But if you look at the zipfile document, BZIP2 is a compression
technique you can use (per file) in a zip archive. In fact, I
use bz2 to compress/decompress, but the data still needs to inhabit
the archive.
