New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <[email protected]>: ZIP files specification supports new compression algorithms since 2006. Since bzip2 and lzma now contained in Python standart library, it would be nice to add support for these methods in zipfile. This will allow to process more foreign zip files and create more compact distributives.
The proposed patch adds two new methods ZIP_BZIP2 and ZIP_LZMA, which are automatically detecting when unpacking and that can be used for packing. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: bzip2_and_lzma_in_zip.patch keywords: patch messages: 156288 nosy: storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Suporting bzip2 and lzma compression in zip files type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24931/bzip2_and_lzma_in_zip.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14366> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
