I agree that the zipfile is out of spec. Here are my arguments in favor of making the change anyway: Existing zip tools like 7zip, pkzip, and winzip handle these files "as expected" As far as I know, it won't break any valid zipfiles. Because the fix necessary is buried inside a private function in the zipfile module, it's difficult to monkey-patch the behavior into place and it's quite hard to figure out what needs to be done.
