ZIP File Format Specification (http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT) supports bzip2 compression since at least 2003. Since bzip2 contained in Python standart library, it would be nice to add support for these method in zipfile. This will allow to process more foreign zip files and create more compact distributives. The proposed patch adds new method ZIP_BZIP2, which is automatically detecting when unpacking and that can be used for packing.
