greetings,
i got a bunch of zip files on a remote server and need to get to one of the files, an xml file, in each of the archives. fairly simple to do locally with zipfile but i don't seem to be able to combine that local code with the paramiko sftp client. a rather simplified code snippet to illustrate: import os import paramiko import StringIO import zipfile remote_file = 'remote.zip' ssh = paramiko.SSHClient() ssh.load_host_keys(os.path.expanduser(os.path.join("~", ".ssh", "known_hosts"))) ssh.connect('www.xxx.com', username='root', password='it_aint') sftp = ssh.open_sftp() dirlist = sftp.listdir('.') zipfile = sftp.file('remote.zip', 'r') unzip = ZipFile(zfile) for f in unzip.namelist(): if f.endswith('.xml'): output.write(unzip.read(unzip)) xmlfiles.append(output.getvalue()) sftp.close() ssh.close() any help is greatly appreacited -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
