You are right of course.  OK, the zipfile.py code and docs are at:

  ftp://ftp.interet.com/pub/pylib.html

Despite the ftp URL, clicking on it should display the html.

Please don't panic if is seems to be slow.  It uses a Python CRC-32
which is slow.  You may want to hack it to use zlib.crc32() if you
have it.

I am testing with WinZip.  If you have another zip tool, it
would be interesting to see how compatible it is.
