23 years ago Archiving a file with the "zipfile.py" module, when the file's path is saved in the archive, the path is not normalized: the separator under windows platform remain the "\", but the standard zip file format say (from http://www.pkware.com/appnote.txt) it should be "/":
"""filename: (Variable)
The name of the file, with optional relative path. The path stored should not contain a drive or device letter, or a leading slash. All slashes should be forward slashes '/' as opposed to backwards slashes '\' for compatibility with Amiga and Unix file systems etc. """
Some windows unzipper signals the problem (for example PowerArchiver show a non-letal "Invalid file format" while uncompressing the archive, and then proceeds unzipping)
