AFAIK some archivers use zipx extension for zip files which contains 
files compressed with advanced compression methods (bzip2, lzma, etc). 
Python supports bzip2 and lzma compression in zip files since 3.3.

Python 2.7 and 3.2 should raise an exception (this bug was fixed several 
months ago). 2.6 is too old and this fix was not backported to it.

Use Python 3.3 or at least 2.7.
