:mod:`zipfile` --- Work with ZIP archives
=========================================
.. module:: zipfile
:synopsis: Read and write ZIP-format archive files.
.. moduleauthor:: James C. Ahlstrom <jim@interet.com>
.. sectionauthor:: James C. Ahlstrom <jim@interet.com>
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/zipfile.py`
--------------
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
<http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT>`_.
This module does not currently handle multi-disk ZIP files.
It can handle ZIP files that use the ZIP64 extensions
(that is ZIP files that are more than 4 GiB in size). It supports
decryption of encrypted files in ZIP archives, but it currently cannot
create an encrypted file. Decryption is extremely slow as it is
implemented in native Python rather than C.
The module defines the following items:
.. exception:: BadZipFile
The error raised for bad ZIP files.
.. versionadded:: 3.2
.. exception:: BadZipfile
Alias of :exc:`BadZipFile`, for compatibility with older Python versions.
.. deprecated:: 3.2
.. exception:: LargeZipFile
The error raised when a ZIP file would require ZIP64 functionality but that has
not been enabled.
.. class:: ZipFile
:noindex:
The class for reading and writing ZIP files. See section
:ref:`zipfile-objects` for constructor details.
.. class:: PyZipFile
:noindex:
Class for creating ZIP archives containing Python libraries.
.. class:: ZipInfo(filename='NoName', date_time=(1980,1,1,0,0,0))
Class used to represent information about a member of an archive. Instances
of this class are returned by the :meth:`.getinfo` and :meth:`.infolist`
methods of :class:`ZipFile` objects. Most users of the :mod:`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
:ref:`zipinfo-objects`.
.. function:: is_zipfile(filename)
Returns ``True`` if *filename* is a valid ZIP file based on its magic number,
otherwise returns ``False``. *filename* may be a file or file-like object too.
.. versionchanged:: 3.1
Support for file and file-like objects.
.. data:: ZIP_STORED
The numeric constant for an uncompressed archive member.
.. data:: ZIP_DEFLATED
The numeric constant for the usual ZIP compression method. This requires the
:mod:`zlib` module.
.. data:: ZIP_BZIP2
The numeric constant for the BZIP2 compression method. This requires the
:mod:`bz2` module.
.. versionadded:: 3.3
.. data:: ZIP_LZMA
The numeric constant for the LZMA compression method. This requires the
:mod:`lzma` module.
.. versionadded:: 3.3
.. note::
The ZIP file format specification has included support for bzip2 compression
since 2001, and for LZMA compression since 2006. However, some tools
(including older Python releases) do not support these compression
methods, and may either refuse to process the ZIP file altogether,
or fail to extract individual files.

.. _zipfile-objects:
ZipFile Objects
---------------
.. class:: ZipFile(file, mode='r', compression=ZIP_STORED, allowZip64=True)
Open a ZIP file, where *file* can be either a path to a file (a string) or a
file-like object. The *mode* parameter should be ``'r'`` to read an existing
file, ``'w'`` to truncate and write a new file, or ``'a'`` to append to an
existing file. If *mode* is ``'a'`` and *file* refers to an existing ZIP
file, then additional files are added to it. If *file* does not refer to a
ZIP file, then a new ZIP archive is appended to the file. This is meant for
adding a ZIP archive to another file (such as :file:`python.exe`). If
*mode* is ``a`` and the file does not exist at all, it is created.
*compression* is the ZIP compression method to use when writing the archive,
and should be :const:`ZIP_STORED`, :const:`ZIP_DEFLATED`,
:const:`ZIP_BZIP2` or :const:`ZIP_LZMA`; unrecognized
values will cause :exc:`RuntimeError` to be raised. If :const:`ZIP_DEFLATED`,
:const:`ZIP_BZIP2` or :const:`ZIP_LZMA` is specified but the corresponding module
(:mod:`zlib`, :mod:`bz2` or :mod:`lzma`) is not available, :exc:`RuntimeError`
is also raised. The default is :const:`ZIP_STORED`. If *allowZip64* is
``True`` (the default) zipfile will create ZIP files that use the ZIP64
extensions when the zipfile is larger than 2 GiB. If it is false :mod:`zipfile`
will raise an exception when the ZIP file would require ZIP64 extensions.
If the file is created with mode ``'a'`` or ``'w'`` and then
:meth:`closed <close>` without adding any files to the archive, the appropriate
ZIP structures for an empty archive will be written to the file.
ZipFile is also a context manager and therefore supports the
:keyword:`with` statement. In the example, *myzip* is closed after the
:keyword:`with` statement's suite is finished---even if an exception occurs::
with ZipFile('spam.zip', 'w') as myzip:
myzip.write('eggs.txt')
.. versionadded:: 3.2
Added the ability to use :class:`ZipFile` as a context manager.
.. versionchanged:: 3.3
Added support for :mod:`bzip2 <bz2>` and :mod:`lzma` compression.
.. versionchanged:: 3.4
ZIP64 extensions are enabled by default.
.. method:: ZipFile.close()
Close the archive file. You must call :meth:`close` before exiting your program
or essential records will not be written.
.. method:: ZipFile.getinfo(name)
Return a :class:`ZipInfo` object with information about the archive member
*name*. Calling :meth:`getinfo` for a name not currently contained in the
archive will raise a :exc:`KeyError`.
.. method:: ZipFile.infolist()
Return a list containing a :class:`ZipInfo` object for each member of the
archive. The objects are in the same order as their entries in the actual ZIP
file on disk if an existing archive was opened.
.. method:: ZipFile.namelist()
Return a list of archive members by name.
.. index::
single: universal newlines; zipfile.ZipFile.open method
.. method:: ZipFile.open(name, mode='r', pwd=None)
Extract a member from the archive as a file-like object (ZipExtFile). *name*
is the name of the file in the archive, or a :class:`ZipInfo` object. The
*mode* parameter, if included, must be one of the following: ``'r'`` (the
default), ``'U'``, or ``'rU'``. Choosing ``'U'`` or ``'rU'`` will enable
:term:`universal newlines` support in the read-only object. *pwd* is the
password used for encrypted files. Calling :meth:`.open` on a closed
ZipFile will raise a :exc:`RuntimeError`.
.. note::
The file-like object is read-only and provides the following methods:
:meth:`~io.BufferedIOBase.read`, :meth:`~io.IOBase.readline`,
:meth:`~io.IOBase.readlines`, :meth:`__iter__`,
:meth:`~iterator.__next__`.
.. note::
Objects returned by :meth:`.open` can operate independently of the
ZipFile.
.. note::
The :meth:`.open`, :meth:`read` and :meth:`extract` methods can take a filename
or a :class:`ZipInfo` object. You will appreciate this when trying to read a
ZIP file that contains members with duplicate names.
.. deprecated-removed:: 3.4 3.6
The ``'U'`` or ``'rU'`` mode. Use :class:`io.TextIOWrapper` for reading
compressed text files in :term:`universal newlines` mode.
.. method:: ZipFile.extract(member, path=None, pwd=None)
Extract a member from the archive to the current working directory; *member*
must be its full name or a :class:`ZipInfo` object). Its file information is
extracted as accurately as possible. *path* specifies a different directory
to extract to. *member* can be a filename or a :class:`ZipInfo` object.
*pwd* is the password used for encrypted files.
.. note::
If a member filename is an absolute path, a drive/UNC sharepoint and
leading (back)slashes will be stripped, e.g.: ``///foo/bar`` becomes
``foo/bar`` on Unix, and ``C:\foo\bar`` becomes ``foo\bar`` on Windows.
And all ``".."`` components in a member filename will be removed, e.g.:
``../../foo../../ba..r`` becomes ``foo../ba..r``. On Windows illegal
characters (``:``, ``<``, ``>``, ``|``, ``"``, ``?``, and ``*``)
replaced by underscore (``_``).
.. method:: ZipFile.extractall(path=None, members=None, pwd=None)
Extract all members from the archive to the current working directory. *path*
specifies a different directory to extract to. *members* is optional and must
be a subset of the list returned by :meth:`namelist`. *pwd* is the password
used for encrypted files.
.. warning::
Never extract archives from untrusted sources without prior inspection.
It is possible that files are created outside of *path*, e.g. members
that have absolute filenames starting with ``"/"`` or filenames with two
dots ``".."``. This module attempts to prevent that.
See :meth:`extract` note.
.. method:: ZipFile.printdir()
Print a table of contents for the archive to ``sys.stdout``.
.. method:: ZipFile.setpassword(pwd)
Set *pwd* as default password to extract encrypted files.
.. method:: ZipFile.read(name, pwd=None)
Return the bytes of the file *name* in the archive. *name* is the name of the
file in the archive, or a :class:`ZipInfo` object. The archive must be open for
read or append. *pwd* is the password used for encrypted files and, if specified,
it will override the default password set with :meth:`setpassword`. Calling
:meth:`read` on a closed ZipFile will raise a :exc:`RuntimeError`.
.. method:: ZipFile.testzip()
Read all the files in the archive and check their CRC's and file headers.
Return the name of the first bad file, or else return ``None``. Calling
:meth:`testzip` on a closed ZipFile will raise a :exc:`RuntimeError`.
.. method:: ZipFile.write(filename, arcname=None, compress_type=None)
Write the file named *filename* to the archive, giving it the archive name
*arcname* (by default, this will be the same as *filename*, but without a drive
letter and with leading path separators removed). If given, *compress_type*
overrides the value given for the *compression* parameter to the constructor for
the new entry. The archive must be open with mode ``'w'`` or ``'a'`` -- calling
:meth:`write` on a ZipFile created with mode ``'r'`` will raise a
:exc:`RuntimeError`. Calling :meth:`write` on a closed ZipFile will raise a
:exc:`RuntimeError`.
.. note::
There is no official file name encoding for ZIP files. If you have unicode file
names, you must convert them to byte strings in your desired encoding before
passing them to :meth:`write`. WinZip interprets all file names as encoded in
CP437, also known as DOS Latin.
.. note::
Archive names should be relative to the archive root, that is, they should not
start with a path separator.
.. note::
If ``arcname`` (or ``filename``, if ``arcname`` is not given) contains a null
byte, the name of the file in the archive will be truncated at the null byte.
.. method:: ZipFile.writestr(zinfo_or_arcname, bytes[, compress_type])
Write the string *bytes* to the archive; *zinfo_or_arcname* is either the file
name it will be given in the archive, or a :class:`ZipInfo` instance. If it's
an instance, at least the filename, date, and time must be given. If it's a
name, the date and time is set to the current date and time. The archive must be
opened with mode ``'w'`` or ``'a'`` -- calling :meth:`writestr` on a ZipFile
created with mode ``'r'`` will raise a :exc:`RuntimeError`. Calling
:meth:`writestr` on a closed ZipFile will raise a :exc:`RuntimeError`.
If given, *compress_type* overrides the value given for the *compression*
parameter to the constructor for the new entry, or in the *zinfo_or_arcname*
(if that is a :class:`ZipInfo` instance).
.. note::
When passing a :class:`ZipInfo` instance as the *zinfo_or_arcname* parameter,
the compression method used will be that specified in the *compress_type*
member of the given :class:`ZipInfo` instance. By default, the
:class:`ZipInfo` constructor sets this member to :const:`ZIP_STORED`.
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
The *compress_type* argument.
The following data attributes are also available:
.. attribute:: ZipFile.debug
The level of debug output to use. This may be set from ``0`` (the default, no
output) to ``3`` (the most output). Debugging information is written to
``sys.stdout``.
.. attribute:: ZipFile.comment
The comment text associated with the ZIP file. If assigning a comment to a
:class:`ZipFile` instance created with mode 'a' or 'w', this should be a
string no longer than 65535 bytes. Comments longer than this will be
truncated in the written archive when :meth:`close` is called.
.. _pyzipfile-objects:
PyZipFile Objects
-----------------
The :class:`PyZipFile` constructor takes the same parameters as the
:class:`ZipFile` constructor, and one additional parameter, *optimize*.
.. class:: PyZipFile(file, mode='r', compression=ZIP_STORED, allowZip64=True, \
optimize=-1)
.. versionadded:: 3.2
The *optimize* parameter.
.. versionchanged:: 3.4
ZIP64 extensions are enabled by default.
Instances have one method in addition to those of :class:`ZipFile` objects:
.. method:: PyZipFile.writepy(pathname, basename='', filterfunc=None)
Search for files :file:`\*.py` and add the corresponding file to the
archive.
If the *optimize* parameter to :class:`PyZipFile` was not given or ``-1``,
the corresponding file is a :file:`\*.pyo` file if available, else a
:file:`\*.pyc` file, compiling if necessary.
If the *optimize* parameter to :class:`PyZipFile` was ``0``, ``1`` or
``2``, only files with that optimization level (see :func:`compile`) are
added to the archive, compiling if necessary.
If *pathname* is a file, the filename must end with :file:`.py`, and
just the (corresponding :file:`\*.py[co]`) file is added at the top level
(no path information). If *pathname* is a file that does not end with
:file:`.py`, a :exc:`RuntimeError` will be raised. If it is a directory,
and the directory is not a package directory, then all the files
:file:`\*.py[co]` are added at the top level. If the directory is a
package directory, then all :file:`\*.py[co]` are added under the package
name as a file path, and if any subdirectories are package directories,
all of these are added recursively.
*basename* is intended for internal use only.
*filterfunc*, if given, must be a function taking a single string
argument. It will be passed each path (including each individual full
file path) before it is added to the archive. If *filterfunc* returns a
false value, the path will not be added, and if it is a directory its
contents will be ignored. For example, if our test files are all either
in ``test`` directories or start with the string ``test_``, we can use a
*filterfunc* to exclude them::
>>> zf = PyZipFile('myprog.zip')
>>> def notests(s):
... fn = os.path.basename(s)
... return (not (fn == 'test' or fn.startswith('test_')))
>>> zf.writepy('myprog', filterfunc=notests)
The :meth:`writepy` method makes archives with file names like
this::
string.pyc # Top level name
test/__init__.pyc # Package directory
test/testall.pyc # Module test.testall
test/bogus/__init__.pyc # Subpackage directory
test/bogus/myfile.pyc # Submodule test.bogus.myfile
.. versionadded:: 3.4
The *filterfunc* parameter.
.. _zipinfo-objects:
ZipInfo Objects
---------------
Instances of the :class:`ZipInfo` class are returned by the :meth:`.getinfo` and
:meth:`.infolist` methods of :class:`ZipFile` objects. Each object stores
information about a single member of the ZIP archive.
Instances have the following attributes:
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.filename
Name of the file in the archive.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.date_time
The time and date of the last modification to the archive member. This is a
tuple of six values:
+-------+--------------------------+
| Index | Value |
+=======+==========================+
| ``0`` | Year (>= 1980) |
+-------+--------------------------+
| ``1`` | Month (one-based) |
+-------+--------------------------+
| ``2`` | Day of month (one-based) |
+-------+--------------------------+
| ``3`` | Hours (zero-based) |
+-------+--------------------------+
| ``4`` | Minutes (zero-based) |
+-------+--------------------------+
| ``5`` | Seconds (zero-based) |
+-------+--------------------------+
.. note::
The ZIP file format does not support timestamps before 1980.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.compress_type
Type of compression for the archive member.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.comment
Comment for the individual archive member.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.extra
Expansion field data. The `PKZIP Application Note
<http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT>`_ contains
some comments on the internal structure of the data contained in this string.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.create_system
System which created ZIP archive.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.create_version
PKZIP version which created ZIP archive.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.extract_version
PKZIP version needed to extract archive.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.reserved

.. attribute:: ZipInfo.volume
Volume number of file header.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.internal_attr
Internal attributes.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.external_attr
External file attributes.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.header_offset
Byte offset to the file header.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.CRC
CRC-32 of the uncompressed file.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.compress_size
Size of the compressed data.
.. attribute:: ZipInfo.file_size
