Doesn't that tell you anything? Like you are trying to unzip your own
logfile??
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise BadZipfile, "File is not a zip file"
zipfile.BadZipfile: File is not a zip file
This is strange because I can see the zipped file inside the folder /
home/jwesonga/received what could be the problem?

Hi,
I have a python script that supposed to go through a folder, pick the
zipped files, unzip them and process the data inside. I'm not sure
where i'm going wrong with this script because it all seems correct:
Nothing is ever as it seems. Let's try to work backwards from the
error message ... and we don't need your magnificent script, just the
traceback will do for now, so:
[ big snip]
The error I keep getting is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "processor3.py", line 124, in ?
unzip(infolder)
File "processor3.py", line 53, in unzip
The error says that you are trying to seek 22 bytes backwards from the
end of a file that you presume is a zip file, and this is deemed to be
invalid. Hypotheses: (1) zipfile.py is buggy (2) your file is less
than 22 bytes long. Let's park hypothesis 1 for the moment. Insert the
following code before the call to zipfile.ZipFile:
print "trying to unzip %r whose size is %d bytes" \
% (one, os.stat(one).st_size)
and tell us your conclusions.
zfile = zipfile.ZipFile(one,'r')
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/zipfile.py", line 210, in __init__
self._GetContents()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/zipfile.py", line 230, in _GetContents

endrec = _EndRecData(fp)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/zipfile.py", line 83, in _EndRecData
fpin.seek(-22, 2) # Assume no archive comment.
IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
P.S. Printing the contents of filelist immediately after it's been
created might be a good idea. You say "pick the zipped files" but the
only condition I see is a test using os.path.isdir.
HTH,
John
