:class:`zipfile.ZipExtFile` class used to represent files stored inside
an archive. The new implementation is significantly faster and can
be wrapped in a :class:`io.BufferedReader` object for more speedups.
It also solves an issue where interleaved calls to `read()` and
`readline()` give wrong results. Patch by Nir Aides.

- Issue #1526: Allow more than 64k files to be added to Zip64 file.
- Issue #1746: Correct handling of zipfile archive comments (previously
archives with comments over 4k were flagged as invalid). Allow writing
Zip files with archives by setting the 'comment' attribute of a ZipFile.

needed to compare the check byte against different values. (according
to reading the infozip unzip crypt.c source code)
Fixes issue1003.
warning on Windows.
Afraid I can't detect a pattern to when the pack formats decide
to use a signed or unsigned format code -- appears nearly
arbitrary to my eyes. So I left all the pack formats alone and
changed the special-case data values instead.
warnings on Win32.
Also added an XXX about the line:
pos3 = self.fp.tell()
`pos3` is never referenced, and I have no idea what the code
intended to do instead.
(ZIP file spec. says in section K, "General notes" in point 1 that unless
specified otherwise values are unsigned and they are not specified as signed in
the spec).
Closes bug #679953. Thanks Jimmy Burgett.
This is a patch for Bug 755031: If a null byte appears in
a file name, Python zipfile.py retains it, but InfoZip
terminates the name. Null bytes in file names are used
as a trick by viruses. I tested WinZip, and it also
truncates the file name at the null byte.
The patch also fixes a buglet: If a zipfile incorrectly
uses a directory separator other than '/', there was an
invalid complaint that the central directory name does
not match the file header name.
I also removed my name from the top of the file. It was
there for legal reasons which I believe no longer apply.
Many people have worked on this file besides me.
This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:
z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()
I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.
If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.
