It's been end-of-life for almost 3 years now. And in an upcomming commit will be using pyo3 to compile Rust for faster ZipCrypto decompression, and its recent versions also don't have support for Python 3.6 (and its older versions don't support Python 3.12 or Python 3.13) Co-authored-by: Uka Osim <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Michal Charemza <[email protected]>

This decreases the time to decrypt ZipCrypto ZIPs by approximately a factor of 10 (measured using 100MiB of random data zipped). This uses pyo3 to make Rust code available to Python. However, recent versions of pyo3 don't support Python 3.6 (and older don't seem to support Python 3.12 onwards), and judging the factor of 10 worth it to drop support. This is why we dropped Python 3.6 support in an earlier commit. Did do a few quick comparisons between https://docs.rs/crc32fast/latest/crc32fast/ and the crc32 library used here, https://docs.rs/crc32-v2/latest/crc32_v2/, and the one here was a bit faster. Suspect it's because here we just call crc32 one byte at a time, and the "fast" version has overhead per call and we never get that time back.
