zipfile

This library implements part of Python's zipfile module, namely allowing you to open archives and read data out of them - as long as files are not compressed with an unsupported compressor or encrypted.

One difference between CPython's zipfile implementation of ZipFile and this module's is that the former does enumerate the files contained in an archive when opening it, and this information is cached and still available even after the archive has been closed via ZipFile.close. To save memory, this implementation neither performs any automatic enumeration on open, nor caches the files list. Attempting to interact with a ZipFile instance once it's been closed will raise a ValueError exception.

Installation

Use mip via mpremote:

> mpremote mip install zipfile

See Package management^↗ (opens in a new tab) for more details on using mip and mpremote.
