Don’t use the Python ZipFile module anymore in Instapack since this seems to be causing random issues with TIP not recognizing the archives’ contents. Like with the models problem I had with TugZip. Instead write the Instapack script so that it uses the external Zip program like the old pak scripts did. Most Operating Systems already have the Zip program. Code the script so that if it’s on Windows and the Zip program is not present, it wget’s the program (Run this check on every run). This should solve the problem and should be faster too, as well as more consistent. Just have to remember to do the exclusions in the zip command.
