[issue22908] ZipExtFile in zipfile can be seekable

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Actually TarFile already works with non-seekable streams. Use TarFile.open() with mode='r|*' or like.

On other hand I'm not against the make non-compressed ZipExtFile seekable. It can be helpful in case when ZIP file is used just as a container for other files.
