Python 2.5

In library module zipfile, a ZipFile object has method
write( filename[, arcname[, compress_type]])

If arcname is not specified, it defaults to the
pathname of filename without a drive letter and with
leading path separators removed.

That is OK.

But if arcname is explicitely specified, the drive
letter and leading path separators are also removed.

I think that is not OK.


thanks,

Richard Philips

It is, since the Zip specification doesn't allow paths with
drive letters or absolute paths for files inside the zip.

See bug #1413790.
