I created a self extracting zip file with about 9000 files in it. I
extracted it manually from the command line without a problem.
However, when I tried to do the same extraction at the same location
with the same arguments (using the Process class), a command prompt
opens, and it begins extracting files. After about 70 files have been
extracted, the main form for my application loses focus and I get an
hourglass cursor (which is normal, I expect that to happen in the
background while processes continue running in the foreground, this is
what happened for my other processes I've run with the Process class).
At the time that that occurs, the extraction hangs. It doesn't return
or print any errors, it just stops extracting and sits there
indefinitly. Does anyone have any ideas why this would happen?

Sounds like it needs a command answering to continue, or running from a
process it doesn't have the same rights as you do when you run it. Try
running it as a scheduled job using task scheduler, giving your credentials
and see if it works, if it does you probably need to overload proces.start
with credentials http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sxf2saat.aspx

I've seen this before when the extraction process doesn't implement the
folder structure within the original zip file - any duplicate filenames will
try to display a prompt... This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Is there a simple way to zip and unzip files?
I'm looking for something along the lines of:
zfile = zipfile(r'c:\somefile.zip')
zfile.extract(r'c:\somefiles')
I've looked at the documentation for zlib and zipfile, and they seem
pretty comprehensive, but also extremely low level. If needed, I can
probably make a workable component from them, but I was wondering if

Hi!
I want to implement a small tool in Python for distributing "patches" and I
need Your advice. This application should be able to package all files
chosen by a user into a self-extracting.exe so that when you click on it, it
will extract the files and run setup.exe which among the other will copy
these files into respective folders (the absolute paths could be written in
some config file). Of course the files should be extracted first...

Dear all,
Are there any utility that can be call by python to create self
extracting zip file. I'm now using the powerarchiever. But the command
line options aren't flexible enough. Basically, I would like to create a
self extracting zip with default file path extraction and force
over-write. The powerArchiever just don't let me call it unless I'm
using the GUI.
Any idea, experience and suggestion are welcome.
Thank you.

Ok, now that I've got my disk imager program working, I'd like to attach a
"self-extractor" to the front end of the image file and make it a
self-extracting disk image executable file. The idea being that the user
would double-click on the file and the disk would be created. I would like
to be able to "create" the self-extracting disk image from my program. Any
guidance on how to go about doing this?
thanks.

Hi,
I have created a program to unzip the file. It is unzipping the zip files when put in directory i.e folder inside folder but when i create a zip file without putting in a folder and try to unzip it. It unzips it but put the zipped file outside the folder created in the name of the zip file. I want it to be inside it.
Also when i do beyond compare of the two files i.e the zipped file and original file its shows difference.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
