Thank you, I didn't realise that was all I needed.
Moving on to the next problem:
I would like to loop through a number of directories and decompress each
*.gz file and leave them in the same folder but the code I have written only
seems to focus on the last folder. Not sure where I have gone wrong.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
import gzip
import os
MainFolder=r"D:/DSE_work/temp_samples/"
for (path, dirs, files) in os.walk(MainFolder):
for dir in dirs:
outputfolder=os.path.join(path,dir)
print "the path and dirs are:", outputfolder
for gzfiles in files:
print gzfiles
if gzfiles[-3:]=='.gz':
print 'dealing with gzfiles:', dir, gzfiles
f_in=os.path.join(outputfolder,gzfiles)
print f_in
compresseddata=gzip.GzipFile(f_in, "rb")
newFile=compresseddata.read()
f_out=open(f_in[:-3], "wb")
f_out.write(newFile)
