From: Boštjan Mejak <bostjan.mejak at gmail.com> Since Python 3.2 accepts feature requests, take this fix as a feature request. Please forget about preserving the compatibility with old pickles.

You can reopen #7351 as a feature request for 3.2. A serious proposal has to take compatibility into account, note. It is simply not possible to break everyone’s pickles for a very minor inconsistency in one name. There is a wide Python world out there.

I’d like to suggest again that the time you want to give to Python (thanks!) would be better employed on something else than BadZipfile. For example, if you don’t think you can contribute code now, you could suggest improvements for unclear sections in the documentation. Recent reports sent by beginners can be found on the archives of the docs at python.org mailing list.
