Exception:
"...Filesize would require ZIP64 extensions"
in the python zipfile module you can add a flag "allowZip64 = True" in the cmd
maybe you can add this to your lib

Research direction
Start by locating the archive-creation entry point that uses Python’s zipfile module and check how ZIP64 support is configured. Reproduce the failure with an archive larger than 4 GB, then confirm that the library can create the archive successfully without the “would require ZIP64 extensions” exception.
