7.14 `zipfile` -- Work with ZIP archives

The ZIP file format is a common archive and compression standard. This module provides tools to create, read, write, append, and list a ZIP file.

The available attributes of this module are:

ZipFile (...): The class for reading and writing ZIP files. See ``ZipFile Objects'' (section 7.14.1) for constructor details.

is_zipfile (path): Returns true if path is a valid ZIP file based on its magic number, otherwise returns false. This module does not currently handle ZIP files which have appended comments.

ZIP_STORED: The numeric constant (0) for an uncompressed archive member.

ZIP_DEFLATED: The numeric constant for the usual ZIP compression method. This requires the zlib module. No other compression methods are currently supported.
