 If you can list all the files, then you can list only the first. :-)
Don't worry about python internal allocation procedures. It will try to
make things in an efficient way. Just make sure your code looks cool.

 That's because you're using the wrong syntax. -> zip.namelist()[0]

 However, I bet that your first file in the zip is not a jpeg file. Do
this, instead:

 zip = zipfile.ZipFile('text.zip')
 jpeglist = [x for x in zip.namelist() if '.jp' in x]
 try:
   picture = zip.read(jpeglist[0])
 except IndexError:
   print 'No jpeg found'
