Unfortunately, I always get the following traceback when trying to print the directory:
Yes, compression isn't there yet. I am looking into it.
Great :-)
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.
Point taken. Perhaps it would be even better to not have a default at all: that way people will have to think about the issue *before* implementing it, rather than debug code that produces tracebacks.
* 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.
