CompleteDirs


    A ZipFile subclass that ensures that implied directories
    are always included in the namelist.
    
close(self)

  Close the file, and for mode 'w', 'x' and 'a' write the ending
          records.
extract(self, member, path=None, pwd=None)

  Extract a member from the archive to the current working directory,
             using its full name. Its file information is extracted as accurately
             as possible. `member' may be a filename or a ZipInfo object. You can
             specify a different directory using `path'.
        
extractall(self, path=None, members=None, pwd=None)

  Extract all members from the archive to the current working
             directory. `path' specifies a different directory to extract to.
             `members' is optional and must be a subset of the list returned
             by namelist().
        
getinfo(self, name)

  Return the instance of ZipInfo given 'name'.
infolist(self)

  Return a list of class ZipInfo instances for files in the
          archive.
make(source)


          Given a source (filename or zipfile), return an
          appropriate CompleteDirs subclass.
        
namelist(self)
open(self, name, mode='r', pwd=None, *, force_zip64=False)

  Return file-like object for 'name'.

          name is a string for the file name within the ZIP file, or a ZipInfo
          object.

          mode should be 'r' to read a file already in the ZIP file, or 'w' to
          write to a file newly added to the archive.

          pwd is the password to decrypt files (only used for reading).

          When writing, if the file size is not known in advance but may exceed
          2 GiB, pass force_zip64 to use the ZIP64 format, which can handle large
          files.  If the size is known in advance, it is best to pass a ZipInfo
          instance for name, with zinfo.file_size set.

          may be either a 'str' or a 'bytes' instance; if it is a 'str',
          it is encoded as UTF-8 first.
          'zinfo_or_arcname' is either a ZipInfo instance or
          the name of the file in the archive.

Path


    A pathlib-compatible interface for zip files.

    Consider a zip file with this structure::

        .
        ├── a.txt
        └── b
            ├── c.txt
            └── d
                └── e.txt

    >>> data = io.BytesIO()
    >>> zf = ZipFile(data, 'w')
    >>> zf.writestr('a.txt', 'content of a')
    >>> zf.writestr('b/c.txt', 'content of c')
    >>> zf.writestr('b/d/e.txt', 'content of e')
    >>> zf.filename = 'mem/abcde.zip'

    Path accepts the zipfile object itself or a filename

    >>> root = Path(zf)

    From there, several path operations are available.

    Directory iteration (including the zip file itself):

    >>> a, b = root.iterdir()
    >>> a
    Path('mem/abcde.zip', 'a.txt')
    >>> b
    Path('mem/abcde.zip', 'b/')

    name property:

    >>> b.name
    'b'

    join with divide operator:

    >>> c = b / 'c.txt'
    >>> c
    Path('mem/abcde.zip', 'b/c.txt')
    >>> c.name
    'c.txt'

    Read text:

    >>> c.read_text()
    'content of c'

    existence:

    >>> c.exists()
    True
    >>> (b / 'missing.txt').exists()
    False

    Coercion to string:

    >>> import os
    >>> str(c).replace(os.sep, posixpath.sep)
    'mem/abcde.zip/b/c.txt'

    At the root, ``name``, ``filename``, and ``parent``
    resolve to the zipfile. Note these attributes are not
    valid and will raise a ``ValueError`` if the zipfile
    has no filename.

    >>> root.name
    'abcde.zip'
    >>> str(root.filename).replace(os.sep, posixpath.sep)
    'mem/abcde.zip'
    >>> str(root.parent)
    'mem'
    
exists(self)
is_dir(self)
is_file(self)
iterdir(self)
joinpath(self, *other)
open(self, mode='r', *args, pwd=None, **kwargs)


          Open this entry as text or binary following the semantics
          of ``pathlib.Path.open()`` by passing arguments through
          to io.TextIOWrapper().
        
read_bytes(self)
read_text(self, *args, **kwargs)
filename = <property object at 0x7f75e2d62ca0>

PyZipFile

Class to create ZIP archives with Python library files and packages.
close(self)

  Close the file, and for mode 'w', 'x' and 'a' write the ending
          records.
extract(self, member, path=None, pwd=None)

  Extract a member from the archive to the current working directory,
             using its full name. Its file information is extracted as accurately
             as possible. `member' may be a filename or a ZipInfo object. You can
             specify a different directory using `path'.
        
extractall(self, path=None, members=None, pwd=None)

  Extract all members from the archive to the current working
             directory. `path' specifies a different directory to extract to.
             `members' is optional and must be a subset of the list returned
             by namelist().
        
getinfo(self, name)

  Return the instance of ZipInfo given 'name'.
infolist(self)

  Return a list of class ZipInfo instances for files in the
          archive.
namelist(self)

  Return a list of file names in the archive.
open(self, name, mode='r', pwd=None, *, force_zip64=False)

  Return file-like object for 'name'.

          name is a string for the file name within the ZIP file, or a ZipInfo
          object.

          mode should be 'r' to read a file already in the ZIP file, or 'w' to
          write to a file newly added to the archive.

          pwd is the password to decrypt files (only used for reading).

          When writing, if the file size is not known in advance but may exceed
          2 GiB, pass force_zip64 to use the ZIP64 format, which can handle large
          files.  If the size is known in advance, it is best to pass a ZipInfo
          instance for name, with zinfo.file_size set.
        
printdir(self, file=None)

  Print a table of contents for the zip file.
read(self, name, pwd=None)

  Put the bytes from filename into the archive under the name
          arcname.
writepy(self, pathname, basename='', filterfunc=None)

  Add all files from "pathname" to the ZIP archive.

          If pathname is a package directory, search the directory and
          all package subdirectories recursively for all *.py and enter
          the modules into the archive.  If pathname is a plain
          directory, listdir *.py and enter all modules.  Else, pathname
          must be a Python *.py file and the module will be put into the
          archive.  Added modules are always module.pyc.
          This method will compile the module.py into module.pyc if
          necessary.
          If filterfunc(pathname) is given, it is called with every argument.
          When it is False, the file or directory is skipped.
        
writestr(self, zinfo_or_arcname, data, compress_type=None, compresslevel=None)

  Write a file into the archive.  The contents is 'data', which
          may be either a 'str' or a 'bytes' instance; if it is a 'str',
          it is encoded as UTF-8 first.
          'zinfo_or_arcname' is either a ZipInfo instance or
          the name of the file in the archive.

  Disconnect this buffer from its underlying raw stream and return it.

  After the raw stream has been detached, the buffer is in an unusable
  state.
fileno(self, /)

  Returns underlying file descriptor if one exists.

  OSError is raised if the IO object does not use a file descriptor.
flush(self, /)

  Flush write buffers, if applicable.

  This is not implemented for read-only and non-blocking streams.
isatty(self, /)

  Return whether this is an 'interactive' stream.

  Return False if it can't be determined.
peek(self, n=1)

  Returns buffered bytes without advancing the position.
read(self, n=-1)

  Read and return up to n bytes.
          If the argument is omitted, None, or negative, data is read and returned until EOF is reached.

readable(self)
readinto(self, buffer, /)
readinto1(self, buffer, /)

readlines(self, hint=-1, /)

  Return a list of lines from the stream.

  hint can be specified to control the number of lines read: no more
  lines will be read if the total size (in bytes/characters) of all
  lines so far exceeds hint.
seek(self, offset, whence=0)
seekable(self)
tell(self)
truncate(...)

  Truncate file to size bytes.

  File pointer is left unchanged.  Size defaults to the current IO
  position as reported by tell().  Returns the new size.
writable(self, /)

  Return whether object was opened for writing.

  If False, write() will raise OSError.
write(...)

  Write the given buffer to the IO stream.

  Returns the number of bytes written, which is always the length of b
  in bytes.

  Raises BlockingIOError if the buffer is full and the
  underlying raw stream cannot accept more data at the moment.

writelines(self, lines, /)

  Write a list of lines to stream.

  Line separators are not added, so it is usual for each of the
  lines provided to have a line separator at the end.

          or append 'a'.
    compression: ZIP_STORED (no compression), ZIP_DEFLATED (requires zlib),
                 ZIP_BZIP2 (requires bz2) or ZIP_LZMA (requires lzma).
    allowZip64: if True ZipFile will create files with ZIP64 extensions when
                needed, otherwise it will raise an exception when this would
                be necessary.
    compresslevel: None (default for the given compression type) or an integer
                   specifying the level to pass to the compressor.
                   When using ZIP_STORED or ZIP_LZMA this keyword has no effect.
                   When using ZIP_DEFLATED integers 0 through 9 are accepted.
