-# Work around a bug in Python's zipfile module that prevents opening of zipfiles
-# if any entry has an extra field of between 1 and 3 bytes (which is common with
-# zipaligned APKs). This overrides the ZipInfo._decodeExtra() method (which
-# contains the bug) with an empty version (since we don't need to decode the
-# extra field anyway).
-# Issue #14315: https://bugs.python.org/issue14315, fixed in Python 2.7.8 and
-# Python 3.5.0 alpha 1.
