Zipping and Unzipping files

[Doug Tolton]

Is there a simple way to zip and unzip files?

I'm looking for something along the lines of:

zfile = zipfile(r'c:\somefile.zip')
zfile.extract(r'c:\somefiles')

I've looked at the documentation for zlib and zipfile, and they seem 
pretty comprehensive, but also extremely low level.  If needed, I can 
probably make a workable component from them, but I was wondering if 
there is one already written that I'm just missing.
