There are a few ways to inspect the contents of a zipfile. You can use the printdir
to just get a variety of information sent to stdout
with zipfile.ZipFile(filename) as zip:
zip.printdir()
# Out:
# File Name Modified Size
# pyexpat.pyd 2016-06-25 22:13:34 157336
# python.exe 2016-06-25 22:13:34 39576
# python3.dll 2016-06-25 22:13:34 51864
# python35.dll 2016-06-25 22:13:34 3127960
# etc.
We can also get a list of filenames with the namelist
method. Here, we simply print the list:
with zipfile.ZipFile(filename) as zip:
print(zip.namelist())
# Out: ['pyexpat.pyd', 'python.exe', 'python3.dll', 'python35.dll', ... etc. ...]
Instead of namelist
, we can call the infolist
method, which returns a list of ZipInfo
objects, which contain additional information about each file, for instance a timestamp and file size:
with zipfile.ZipFile(filename) as zip:
info = zip.infolist()
print(zip[0].filename)
print(zip[0].date_time)
print(info[0].file_size)
# Out: pyexpat.pyd
# Out: (2016, 6, 25, 22, 13, 34)
# Out: 157336
