Derek mentioned something that hadn't occurred to me: adding ZipFile.open() is helpful, but if we don't provide something analogous to TarFile.extract, anybody wanting to just extract a file from an archive to disk will have to write their own "get and write chunks from the file object" loop. Since this is likely to be a common task, it makes sense to me to provide this capability in the ZipFile class with an extract method that takes an optional path argument (defaulting to the working directory + path for file in archive). I'll add this to the patch unless somebody greatly disagrees or has a better idea. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
