Hi,
I have a python script that supposed to go through a folder, pick the
zipped files, unzip them and process the data inside. I'm not sure
where i'm going wrong with this script because it all seems correct:
Nothing is ever as it seems. Let's try to work backwards from the

traceback will do for now, so:

The error says that you are trying to seek 22 bytes backwards from the
end of a file that you presume is a zip file, and this is deemed to be
invalid. Hypotheses: (1) zipfile.py is buggy (2) your file is less
than 22 bytes long. Let's park hypothesis 1 for the moment. Insert the
following code before the call to zipfile.ZipFile:
print "trying to unzip %r whose size is %d bytes" \
% (one, os.stat(one).st_size)
and tell us your conclusions.
zfile = zipfile.ZipFile(one,'r')

P.S. Printing the contents of filelist immediately after it's been
created might be a good idea. You say "pick the zipped files" but the
only condition I see is a test using os.path.isdir.

Doesn't that tell you anything? Like you are trying to unzip your own
logfile??

raise BadZipfile, "File is not a zip file"
zipfile.BadZipfile: File is not a zip file
This is strange because I can see the zipped file inside the folder /
home/jwesonga/received what could be the problem?
