Conflicts of interest (optional)#

None

Summary#

We have implemented a validator and a simple implementation using Zarr-python validation.

Minor comments and questions#

  • Can one use ZIP64 on files that don’t require it? It appears that ZIP64 records only exist in zip files that pass the 64bit length boundary. If the force_zip64 flag resolves this, then this would require this set as default in ZipStore I assume?

  • https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/47073 - conceptually, data and metadata needs to be written together (add to implementation section)

Recommendation#

We recommend accepting this RFC with the suggested clarifications above.
