I have a zip file which contains the following directory structure:
dir1\dir2\dir3a
dir1\dir2\dir3b
I'm trying to unzip it and maintain the directory structure however I get the error:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\\projects\\\testFolder\\\subdir\\\unzip.exe'
where testFolder is dir1 above and subdir is dir2.
Is there a quick way of unzipping the file and maintaining the directory structure?
I know it may be a little late to say this but Jeff is right. It's as simple as:
import os
from zipfile import ZipFile as zip
def extractAll(zipName):
z = zip(zipName)
for f in z.namelist():
if f.endswith('/'):
os.makedirs(f)
else:
z.extract(f)
if __name__ == '__main__':
zipList = ['one.zip', 'two.zip', 'three.zip']
for zip in zipList:
extractAll(zipName)
It sounds like you are trying to run unzip to extract the zip.
It would be better to use the python zipfile module, and therefore do the extraction in python.
import zipfile
def extract(zipfilepath, extractiondir):
zip = zipfile.ZipFile(zipfilepath)
zip.extractall(path=extractiondir)
