zipfile module: problems with filename having non ascii characters

[Jeff Epler]

Zip files don't have a way to define the encoding of filenames---names
are just byte strings, and different utilities may interpret them in
different ways.  The only thing that seems to be defined is that '/' is
the directory separator, and possibly that the filename can't contain
'\0'.

You can probably find the encoding that winzip uses with a little
trial-and-error, and convert your filenames in your encoding to
filenames in that encoding.  This may depend on the language or region
of the installed Windows, though.
