[issue17392] Python installer for Windows packages wrong zipfile.py

[Simon Wagner]

Simon Wagner added the comment:

I compared the file in http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3.3/Lib/zipfile.py with the zipfile.py that is distributed with http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.3.0/python-3.3.0.msi

They differ in several places. I checked several times, so this is either an error in the installer or an error in the documentation, as the wrong version is linked.

This is especially unfortunate, as the version that is distributed has problems with long path names (prefixed with the famous \\?\). The one that is linked in the documentation however, does not have that same problem.

I did attach the zipfile.py that comes with the installer. I hope this is helpful for you.
