Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Today people passZipInfo instances into APIs that accept them such asZipFile.writestr() in order to control how individual items are put into a zip archive as such:

zip_info=zipfile.ZipInfo(filename=filename,date_time=desired_timestamp)zip_info.compress_type=this_files_compress_type# This attribute is sadly not public; manual creation of ZipInfo objects# is uncommon.  Without this we cannot write compressed files with our# own overridden info.zip_info._compresslevel=this_files_compress_level# pylint: disable=protected-accesszip_info.external_attr=desired_permissionszip_file.writestr(zip_info,data)

There is no reason for._compresslevel to be protected with an _. We should make it public as it is useful.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
