This module does not currently handle ZIP files which have appended comments, or
multi-disk ZIP files. It can handle ZIP files that use the ZIP64 extensions
(that is ZIP files that are more than 4 GByte in size). It supports decryption
of encrypted files in ZIP archives, but it currently cannot create an encrypted
file.
This module does not currently handle multi-disk ZIP files, or ZIP files
which have appended comments (although it correctly handles comments
added to individual archive members---for which see the :ref:`zipinfo-objects`
documentation). It can handle ZIP files that use the ZIP64 extensions
(that is ZIP files that are more than 4 GByte in size). It supports
decryption of encrypted files in ZIP archives, but it currently cannot
create an encrypted file.
For other archive formats, see the :mod:`bz2`, :mod:`gzip`, and
:mod:`tarfile` modules.
