The encoding test in ZipFile.open() is highly opinionated and has no purpose beyond itself. Testing for encoding issues should be done outside this library in the user's own code. Using the 3.7.2 version of ZipFile, this is my proposal: https://gist.github.com/MorganRamsay/696e89450e0f172c16ac8dfc016eb79f/revisions?diff=unified Currently, I'm subclassing ZipFile with this patch and I've had no issues with extracting thousands of different ZIP files on Windows. I can't attest to this solution's applicability on other platforms. ---------- nosy: +MorganRamsay versions: +Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue6839> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
