Looks like I just need to do this to unzip with unix...

from os import popen
popen("unzip data.zip")

That works for me.  No idea why I didn't think of that earlier.  I'm
new to python but should have realized I could run unix commands with
python.  I had blinders on.  Now I just need to get rid of some bad
characters in the unzipped file.  I'll start a new thread if I need
help with that...
