[Python-Dev] non-US zip archives support in zipfile.py

[Daniel Holth]

FYI zipfile does do UTF-8
(http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/d7ebe03fa752/Lib/zipfile.py#l368).
Only the non-Unicode encodings might need some help. I like that the
patch is only concerned with decoding. Is it necessary to support
writing non-UTF8 encodings?
