PKZip

Module declaration

 Protected Module PKZip

Contains all methods, properties, classes, etc. relating to zip archives. (The "PK" in "PKZip" refers to the format's creator, Phil Katz.)

This module can be used by itself or in concert with one or more compression modules.

Compression module	Enabler	Default	Comment
zlib (part of this project)	`PKZip.USE_ZLIB`	`True`	For deflate compression.
BZip2 (maintained separately)	`PKZip.USE_BZIP2`	`False`	For BZip2 compression.

To enable a compression module set its "enabler" constant to True and import the module into your project along with this module.

To use this module by itself without compression set all "enabler" constants to False.
