Ideally, zipfile.BadZipFile should be thrown when trying to open files 
that are zero-sized.

sridharr@whymac:/tmp/i > apy -c "import zipfile; zipfile.ZipFile
('empty.zip').extractall()"
Traceback (most recent call last):

Also repros on python-3.1

Note: empty.zip is nothing but an empty file created using the 'touch' 
command.

Fixed in r74245. Thanks for the report!

Amaury, shouldn't this also be merged to the py3k branch? (I am not 
aware of any Python commit policies so just asking)
msg91029 - (view) Author: Amaury Forgeot d'Arc (amaury.forgeotdarc) * (Python committer) Date: 2009-07-29 06:32
Oh, this was done with r74246, I just forgot to mention it.
Anyway all changes in trunk are regularly merged into py3k.

Is this going to make its way into a 2.6 release?
msg97320 - (view) Author: R. David Murray (r.david.murray) * (Python committer) Date: 2010-01-06 20:16
I've backported this to 2.6 in r77334 and to 3.1 in r77335.
