Just as an update guys:
Before my zip code featured below I have another piece of code that creates
the zip file from a binary string, like this:
#f3 = open("Media/Media.zip", "wb")
#f3.write(base64.decodestring(MediaBinary))
#f3.close
Now, with that code commented out like that so the unzip code is running on
the file generated last time the code was run it works fine, but if I try
and unzip after the file has been freshly created I get that error, I've
even tried placing a 2 second sleep command in between them and still get
the problems.
Thanks guys,
Rob

Subject: Zip File Woes
Hello Guys,
I'm having a MASSIVE headache today with zip files, I had it working a while
ago but it all seems to have stopped in the past 30 minutes and I can't
figure out why.
I'm simply trying to write a function that will unzip a file, simple as
that. I've currently got this code:
Import zipfile
zip = zipfile.ZipFile('Media/Media.zip', 'r')
unzip(zip)
zip.close()
def unzip(zip):
for name in zip.namelist():
newname = 'Media/%s' % (name)
file(newname, 'wb').write(zip.read(name))
Now when I try and run this i get the following error message:
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/zipfile.py", line 242, in _RealGetContents
raise BadZipfile, "File is not a zip file"
zipfile.BadZipfile: File is not a zip file
However, if I copy the zip file off the unit client onto my windows box and
unzip it and it works absolutely perfectly, all the files are extracted as I
would expect, which leads me to think the zip file is fine, and i must just
be missing something in my code.
Any ideas guys? I'm tearing my hair out here.
Rob
