zipfile and file permissions

[Pete Forman]

I'm trying to move the building of a zip file from a shell script into
python. It is mostly working but when I unzip the files the UNIX
permissions are not preserved. The zip program I've been using is the
standard(?) one on Linux, from Info-Zip. Presumably I need to do
something with external_attr in ZipInfo, any pointers?

Thanks. I've put a work around in my code to set create_system. I've
also made a patch for zipfile.py which I'm trying to submit to
sourceforge. No luck so far, I'll try again later. Recently I
submitted a patch to the python-mode project, so I think I'm following
the correct procedure.
