   No, the ZIP module gives you back the bytes you
put in.  "rb" is not accepted there:

  File "InfoCompaniesHouse.py", line 197, in dofilezip
    with inzip.open(zipelt.filename,"rb") as infd :            # do this
file
  File "C:\python27\lib\zipfile.py", line 872, in open
    raise RuntimeError, 'open() requires mode "r", "U", or "rU"'
RuntimeError: open() requires mode "r", "U", or "rU"

   "b" for files is about end of line handling (CR LF -> LF), anyway.
