New submission from kmike <None>: As I can see the goal of zipstream is to provide support for an incremental approach to unzipping files. But standard zipfile has this support since python 2.6. ZipFile?.open() method returns file-like object which supports 'read' method with buffer size in parameters. Implementation in zipfile is better than in zipstream. At least it works a lot faster because it don't have 'self.buffer = self.buffer[n:]' code which kills performance on big (even tens of Kb's) buffer sizes like zipstream version does. I think is better to deprecate zipstream and copy implementation from new zipfile. Or make zipstream a backported zipfile wrapper. ---------- Type : enhancement Component: core Keywords : Priority : normal Nosy : kmike ---------- http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4035
