[Python-Dev] Fast Implementation for ZIP decryption (original) (raw)

Hi All,

I have implemented the simple zip decryption in C (yes, the much loathed weak password based classical PKWARE encryption, which incidentally is the only one currently supported in python) .

It performs fast, as one would expect, as compared to the current all-python implementation.

Does it sound worthy enough to create a patch for and integrate into python itself?
