#14399: zipfile now correctly handles comments added to empty zipfiles.

bitdancer · bitdancer · commit 51804e9725dd · 2012-04-12T18:44:42.000-04:00
Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.

This also moves the TypeError that results from trying to use a unicode
comment from the 'close' step to the point at which the comment is added to
the zipfile.

+- Issue #14399: zipfile now correctly adds a comment even when the zipfile
+  being created is otherwise empty.  In addition, the TypeError that results
+  from trying to set a non-binary value as a comment is now now raised at the
+  time the comment is set rather than at the time the zipfile is written.
+
 - Issue #7978: socketserver now restarts the select() call when EINTR is
   returned.  This avoids crashing the server loop when a signal is received.
   Patch by Jerzy Kozera.
