The _make_zipfile in shutil uses ZIP_DEFLATED compression by default, and the fix introduced by #24982 adds directory entries. In zipfile.ZipFile.write, directories is added as 0 file_size, 0 compress_size, regardless of the compression method. Deflate will compress an empty string as \x03\x00, thus the directory entries become incorrect.

The command line interface of zipfile is correct. Shutil can be fixed as zipfile.main. As a directory entry with compression methods other than ZIP_STORED is meaningless, zipfile.write and (maybe) zipfile.writestr should always write a ZIP_STORED header for directory entries to avoid the above problem occuring by programming mistakes.

Can you provide a test?

$ mkdir foo; touch foo/a.txt; python3 -c "import shutil; shutil.make_archive('foo', 'zip', base_dir='foo')"; unzip -t foo.zip
Archive:  foo.zip
    testing: foo/                    
  error:  invalid compressed data to inflate
    testing: foo/a.txt                OK
At least one error was detected in foo.zip.

(This affects 2.7, 3.4+)

My patch for this.
msg255054 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-11-21 12:19
Could you add a test Dingyuan? You can take test_zipfile_vs_zip in test_shutil as an example.

The patch changes both shutil and zipfile. Aren't only changes to zipfile needed?
msg255084 - (view) Author: Dingyuan Wang (gumblex) * Date: 2015-11-22 06:50
Yes, patching zipfile is enough. I wrote a test using `unzip -t` to check the zip. ZipFile.testzip can't detect this kind of error because zlib.decompressobj(-15) will decode b'' to b'' without errors.

Thank you for your contribution Dingyuan.

Benjamin, I think this fix should be in 2.7.11. It was a regression in 2.7.11 that had made shutil.make_archive() unusable with the zip format.

This change didn't make it into 3.5.1.  It will be released with 3.5.2.  I've already updated the Misc/NEWS entry.
msg255137 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-11-23 08:02
Larry, I think this patch is enough important to go into 3.5.1 final. It fixes a regression in common operation.
msg256054 - (view) Author: Serhiy Storchaka (serhiy.storchaka) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-12-07 08:43
Larry, is this fix included in 3.5.1?
msg256720 - (view) Author: Larry Hastings (larry) * (Python committer) Date: 2015-12-19 07:59
Like I said--no.
