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:
- exception error
- The error raised for bad ZIP files.
- class ZipFile
- The class for reading and writing ZIP files. See ``ZipFile Objects''
(section 7.18.1) for constructor
details.
- class PyZipFile
- Class for creating ZIP archives containing Python libraries.
-
| class 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 7.18.3,
``ZipInfo Objects.''
-

- ZIP_STORED
- The numeric constant for an uncompressed archive member.

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