New submission from Martijn Pieters: The documentation for zipfile.ZipFile.extract() doesn't mention at all that it returns the local path created, either for the directory that the member represents, or the new file created from the zipped data. *Returns the full local path created (a directory or new file)* or similar. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 238778 nosy: docs@python, mjpieters priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document return value for ZipFile.extract() type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23730> _______________________________________
