Unfortunately, I always get the following traceback when trying to print the directory:
Yes, compression isn't there yet. I am looking into it.
Some notes on the API: ---------------------- * I would find it more convenient if the filename and mode would be constructor parameters, e.g.
zfile = zipfile('myfile.zip','rb')
OK, done.
with compression defaulting to 8 rather than 0 (most zip files will be deflated since this is the ZIP default).
Until compression works, and zlib ships with Python I would rather default to no compression (method 0). Otherwise this is not useful as a Python import archive.
* Also, I would like a method much like the os.listdir() which returns a list of filenames rather than print it to stdout.
OK, done.
* .is_zipfile() should probably be a separate function: it doesn't use any of the class' features.
OK, done.
Aside: I found that you are using undocumented arguments to zlib.compressobj() ... are these extra arguments left out of the documentation on purpose or by simple oversight ? I couldn't find them in the HTML docs and neither in the docstrings.
I am following the CNRI code blindly here. I don't have docs either. JimA
