Summary: Incomplete info in 7.18.1 ZipFile Objects

Initial Comment:
Documentation: Python Library Reference 2.4.3

7.18.1 ZipFile Objects

The description for class ZipFile(file[, mode[,
compression]])
states the possible values for the parameter
"compression", but does not give any details on what
they do.
A nice table like this one would be prudent:

ZIP_STORED   Files stored with no compression
ZIP_DEFLATED Files stored with zlib "deflate" compression


Cheers

ZIP_STORED and ZIP_DEFLATED are explained on the zipfile
overview page.
