[issue22102] Zipfile generates Zipfile error in zip with 0 total number of disk in Zip64 end of central directory locator

[Thomas Kluyver]

Thomas Kluyver <thomas at kluyver.me.uk> added the comment:

If every Windows 7 computer is generating zipfiles which are invalid in this way, that would be a pretty strong argument for Python (and other tools) to accept it. But if that was the case, I would also expect that there would be many more issues about it.

Are the files you're compressing large (multi-GB)? Python only uses the zip64 format when the files are too big for the older zip format; maybe Windows is doing the same. Even in that case, I'm still surprised that more people don't hit it.
