It's PEP 201, and that contains a statement that Guido pronounced
explicitly on 0-arg zip producing an exception. Sadly, there's no
rationale given (but Guido doesn't need one :-))

After Guido gets settled in, I'll see if the California air has
changed his thinking.  If it hasn't, I'll at least get the
rationale documented.
