<p dir="auto">When you try to write a zip file larger than 4 GB with numpy's savez you get an exception saying that you should enable ZIP64 extensions.<br>
I did not find any way (without altering the numpy code manually and reinstalling numpy) to make this possible. From my point of view, this is a severe usability bug - as I can not use savez anymore.</p>
<p dir="auto">Please add a function, e.g. savez64(...) which uses ZIP64 by default or a function enableZip64(bool) which can turn ZIP64 on or off.</p>
