[Tutor] zip question

[Alberto Troiano]

The problem is that you have to get the content before you can get the 
filename or comment of the files.
You have to do something like this

import zipfile
file=zipfile.ZipFile("yourfile.zip")
f=file.getinfo(name_of_the_file_inside_yourfile.zip)


And then you can take the comments and filenames you want with
f.comment
f.filename

Copy and paste without parenthesis. The getinfo part, You have to get the 
name of the files inside.
I did a program to put the name of the files inside the zip in a list and 
then I looped inisde the list with the commands I'm sending you

Regards

Alberto
