Hello!
I'm using this function to extract files from .zip archive and store it on the server:
def unzip_file_into_dir(file, dir):
import sys, zipfile, os, os.path
os.makedirs(dir, 0777)
zfobj = zipfile.ZipFile(file)
for name in zfobj.namelist():
if name.endswith('/'):
os.mkdir(os.path.join(dir, name))
else:
outfile = open(os.path.join(dir, name), 'wb')
outfile.write(zfobj.read(name))
outfile.close()
And the usage:
unzip_file_into_dir('/var/zips/somearchive.zip', '/var/www/extracted_zip')
somearchive.zip have this structure:
somearchive.zip
1.jpeg
2.jpeg
another.jpeg
or, somethimes, this one:
somearchive.zip
somedir/
1.jpeg
2.jpeg
another.jpeg
Question is: how do I modify my function, so that my extracted_zip
catalog would always contain just images, not images in another subdirectory, even if images are stored in somedir
inside an archive.
