[New-bugs-announce] [issue10972] zipfile: add unicode option to the choose filename encoding

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

ZipInfo._encodeFilename() tries cp437 encoding or use UTF-8. It is not possible to decide the encoding.

To workaround #10955 (bootstrap issue with python32.zip), it would be nice to be able to create a ZIP file using only UTF-8 filenames.

Attached patch adds unicode parameter to ZipFile.write(), ZipFile.writestr() and ZipInfo constructor.
