Interesting. Thanks!

 >>> zipfile.ZipFile('argparse-0.8.0.win32.exe').namelist()
['.../lib/argparse-0.8.0-py2.5.egg-info', '.../lib/argparse.py']

Interestingly, it looks like none of these are "safe_zipnames" according to:

     https://svn.python.org/packages/trunk/pypi/verify_filetype.py

I wonder why that is...

Also, I couldn't get the StringIO code from there to work:

 >>> import StringIO
 >>> content = open('argparse-0.8.0.win32.exe').read()
 >>> t = StringIO.StringIO(content)
 >>> t.filename = 'argparse-0.8.0.win32.exe'
 >>> z = zipfile.ZipFile(t)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
   File "C:\Python25\lib\zipfile.py", line 346, in __init__
     self._GetContents()
   File "C:\Python25\lib\zipfile.py", line 366, in _GetContents
     self._RealGetContents()
   File "C:\Python25\lib\zipfile.py", line 378, in _RealGetContents
     raise BadZipfile, "File is not a zip file"
BadZipfile: File is not a zip file
