Ok, I'm not sure if this helps any, but in debugging it a bit I see the script stalls on:
newFile.write (zf.read (zfilename)) The memory error generated references line 357 of the zipfile.py program at the point of decompression: elif zinfo.compress_type == ZIP_DEFLATED: if not zlib: raise RuntimeError, \ "De-compression requires the (missing) zlib module" # zlib compress/decompress code by Jeremy Hylton of CNRI dc = zlib.decompressobj(-15) bytes = dc.decompress(bytes) ### <------ right here Is there anyway to modify how my code is approaching this or perhaps how the zipfile code is handling it or do I need to just invest in more RAM? I currently have 512 MB and thought that would be plenty.... perhaps I was wrong :-(. If anyone has any ideas it would truly be very helpful.
