As I mentioned earlier I'd like to get patch 1446489 (support for zip64 extensions in the zipfile module) in python 2.5. The patch should be perfectly safe, it comes with unittests and a documentation update. I'm also using this version of zipfile in (closed-source) projects to handle huge zipfiles. ... The major changes in the patch are: support for ZIP64 extensions which make it possible to handle zipfiles that are larger than 2 GByte in size and a significant speed-up of zipfile opening when dealing with zipfiles that contain a large amount of files.
+1 I've reviewed it and think it sounds useful. ZIP64 is supported by many of the popular windows zip file utils.
I'd like to see this one checked in. Unless I see objections in the next 24 hours I'll check it in.
