7.16 zipfile --
Work with ZIP archives






New in version 1.6.


The ZIP file format is a common archive and compression standard.
This module provides tools to create, read, write, append, and list a
ZIP file. Any advanced use of this module will require an
understanding of the format, as defined in
PKZIP Application
Note .


This module does not currently handle ZIP files which have appended
comments, or multi-disk ZIP files.


The available attributes of this module are:


error

The error raised for bad ZIP files.



ZipFile (...)

The class for reading and writing ZIP files. See
``ZipFile Objects'' (section 7.16.1) for
constructor details.



PyZipFile (...)

Class for creating ZIP archives containing Python libraries.



ZipInfo ([filename[, date_time]])

Class used the represent infomation about a member of an archive.
Instances of this class are returned by the getinfo() and
infolist() methods of ZipFile objects. Most users
of the zipfile module will not need to create these, but
only use those created by this module.
filename should be the full name of the archive member, and
date_time should be a tuple containing six fields which
describe the time of the last modification to the file; the fields
are described in section 7.16.3, ``ZipInfo Objects.''



is_zipfile (filename)

Returns true if filename is a valid ZIP file based on its magic
number, otherwise returns false. This module does not currently
handle ZIP files which have appended comments.



ZIP_STORED

The numeric constant for an uncompressed archive member.



ZIP_DEFLATED

The numeric constant for the usual ZIP compression method. This
requires the zlib module. No other compression methods are
currently supported.
