It was just so I could see what I was getting. but, I see that you're correct in noticing that i do use that namelist in the next block of code, which (as you point out) isn't going to work. > > > > '>>> ' > > > > But, what I can't figure out is how to get 'into' each unique folder: > > aforker, allisw99, etc. and then extract any and all zips within > > 'aforker', 'allisw99', etc. > > > > I have no doubt that the suggestions posted here will work, but they > > all seem to get away from a single .py file and.... > > a) I can't get them to work, and > > b) it doesn't really help me because I need ONE stand alone .py file > > to make this all work in ArcGIS. > > I don't know what ArcGIS is but if it runs Python then I'm sure that it > can be done with a stand alone .py file. > ArcGIS is Esri's ArcGIS Analysis/Mapping software, that uses python for it's scripts. And, I hope that you are correct, (that I can get one stand alone .py file to work.
