New submission from Kuba Wieczorek <faw...@gmail.com>: This behaviour has been known of course for quite long time. I suppose this is not intentional so I've played a bit with this and I hope you'll consider some little change.
Currently, if a ZIP archive contains some subdirectories then zipfile.ZipFile.extract()/extractall() will create files instead of directories in the target location. This of course will lead some scripts to crash (unless any work-around has been done) because files from the subdirectories couldn't be created. Attached is a patch against current 2.7 tree. Applied, will make extractall() extract properly all the contents of the archive with proper tree structure. If a directory name is passed to the extract(), it will only create the directory itself without the contents (I guess it is obvious). ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: zipfile_extract_dirs.patch keywords: patch messages: 78143 nosy: faw severity: normal status: open title: [PATCH] zipfile.ZipFile does not extract directories properly type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file12413/zipfile_extract_dirs.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4710> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
