First of all ZipInfo will lose the file_offset attribute because calculating it when opening a zipfile is very expensive (it basically requires a full scan of the zipfile). This should be harmless, I couldn't come up with a usecase other then reimplementing the read method outside of zipfile.Not knowing anything about this, why not implement file_offset as a property?
That is possible but would introduce a link from ZipInfo instances to Zipfile instances and would therefore introduce a cycle. As Zipfile has a __del__ method that's not something I wanted to do.
