Yes, there is a special flag for this in zipfile. It is named allowZip64.
The only reason to use allowZip64=False is when you expect to unzip a zipfile with a tool which doesn't support zip64 (PKUNZIP.EXE for DOS?) and you want to keep yourself from unintentional zipping a file larger than 2 GiB.
Perhaps sometime we should to change the default value for allowZip64 from False to True. |
