[New-bugs-announce] [issue23976] ZipFile.writestr implies non-regular files

[D. Alphus]

New submission from D. Alphus:

When ZipFile.writestr is called with arcname as its first parameter, it creates a ZipInfo object that has 0o0600 << 16 as its external_attr. Files created with write generally have 0o0100600 (S_IFREG is set indicating a regular file). Some archive managers (like Ark) will not populate the extracted file unless it contains this flag.
