Hi all,
I am new to python and want to create a process to unzip large numbers of
zip files I get from a SOAP application. The files all have a ZIP extention
and can be unzipped using WinZip.
However when I try opening the files using zlib or zipfile modules I get the
following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#8 8>", line 1, in -toplevel-
file = zipfile.ZipFile ("c:\\chessy.zi p", "r")
File "C:\Python24\li b\zipfile.py", line 210, in __init__
self._GetConten ts()
File "C:\Python24\li b\zipfile.py", line 230, in _GetContents
self._RealGetCo ntents()
File "C:\Python24\li b\zipfile.py", line 242, in _RealGetContent s
raise BadZipfile, "File is not a zip file"
BadZipfile: File is not a zip file
The code I used in python was:
import zipfile
file = zipfile.ZipFile ("c:\\chessy.zi p", "r")
I tried to do the same with a zip file I created using WinZip and it worked
fine. I have been searching the web for about two days and haven't found
anything helpful.
Can anyone help with this? I have the zip I can send, however I tried to
send this message with it attached and it didn't get posted.
Cheers, 5 2452

Can you send / provide a link to a minimal zip file which reproduces the
problem?

I'm guessing the downloaded zip files have a faulty magic number or an
odd value that trips up the zipfile module but that winzip ignores.
Another possibility is this: From the documentation:
"This module does not currently handle ZIP files which have appended
comments, or multi-disk ZIP files."
One thing I've noticed is that, when downloading zip files from a
service of some sort, they often seem to have appended comments.
("This file downloaded from www.extremezipfiles.com, blah blah blah.")

Based on the file Waguy originally sent, you could try using this:
import zipfile, cStringIO
def getzip(filename , ignoreable=100) :
try:
return zipfile.ZipFile (filename)
except zipfile.BadZipf ile:
original = open(filename, 'rb')
try:
data = original.read()
finally:
original.close( )
position = data.rindex(zip file.stringEndA rchive,
-(22 + ignoreable), -20)
coredata = cStringIO.Strin gIO(data[: 22 + position])
return zipfile.ZipFile (coredata)

AAAAAAAARG I hate the way python handles unicode. Here is a nice
problem for y'all to enjoy: say you have a variable thats unicode
directory = u"c:\temp"
Its unicode not because you want it to, but because its for example
read from _winreg which returns unicode.
You do an os.listdir(directory). Note that all filenames returned are
now unicode. (Change introduced I believe in 2.3).

Hello,
I am new to Python. I am having trouble with zipfile.py.
On a Linux machine with python 2.4.2 I have trouble opening a zipfile.
Python is complaining about the bit where it does a seek(-22,2). Looks
to me like zipfile.py is trying to come back 22 bytes from the end of
file.

Hi fellas,
I am experiencing problems reading a 2GB zipfile consisting of
multiple zipped files. I found a thread
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-April/053027.html
that mentions a problem on the writing side, does such a problem exist
on a reading side? I am using 2.4.1, perhaps there is a fix in a later
version?

Hi
I'm probably doing something stupid but I've run into a problem
whereby I'm trying to add a csv file to a zip archive - see example
code below.
The csv just has several rows with carriage return line feeds (CRLF).
However after adding it to an archive and then decompressing the line
endings have been converted to just line feeds (LF).

I'm using the zipfile library to read a zip file in Windows, and it
seems to be adding too many newlines to extracted files. I've found
that for extracted text-encoded files, removing all instances of '\r'
in the extracted file seems to fix the problem, but I can't find an
easy solution for binary files.
The code I'm using is something like:
from zipfile import Zipfile
z = Zipfile(open('zippedfile.zip'))
