| zipfile.ZipFile() should have an interface similar to tarfile.TarFile() for extracting files. At it's simplest, this can be written: tf = tarfile.open(self.filename, 'r') for member in tf.getmembers(): tf.extract(member) This does "all the right things". This is a much more pleasant interface to use than the ZipFile equivalent. Assigning to self as a reminder to do this. | ||

| I just posted a patch on issue 467924 (http://bugs.python.org/issue467924) that adds extract and extractall methods. Recommend closing this issue unless the patch over there is insufficient for some reason. | ||
