As
KevinH pointed out above, this is simply not true. The bug you're pointing to is a
documentation issue only. Python's zipfile module from 2.7 on is perfectly capable of handling utf-8 filenames on Windows -- as is Sigil's internal (un)zip routines. Winzip and PKZip are the programs that are limited to DOS Latin file names on Windows. So unless you're telling us that you're using Winzip or PKZip as part of your plugin instead of Python's zipfile module (and I really hope you're not), the Python documentation issue you're pointing to just isn't relevant here.
