[issue4621] zipfile returns string but expects binary

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

In the ZIP file format, a filename is a byte string because we don't 
know the encoding. You can not guess the encoding because it's not 
stored in the ZIP file and it depends on the OS and the OS 
configuration. So t1.filename have to be a byte string and  
testzip.read() have to use bytes and not str.
