library0.0.3pypypi✓ verified 83d ago

Backport of the Python 3.8 zipfile module for use with older Python versions. Provides the same API as the standard library zipfile, but with the improvements introduced in Python 3.8 (e.g., ZipFile.open() as a context manager, Path support). Currently version 0.0.3, no recent releases. Low maintenance.

ZipFile

✓ from zipfile38 import ZipFile

✗ import zipfile.ZipFile

zipfile38 is the top-level module, not a submodule

Basic usage: create and read zip files using ZipFile as a context manager.

from zipfile38 import ZipFile # Create a new zip file with ZipFile('example.zip', 'w') as zf: zf.write('file.txt', arcname='in_archive.txt') # Read an existing zip file with ZipFile('example.zip', 'r') as zf: print(zf.namelist()) with zf.open('in_archive.txt') as f: print(f.read())

Debug

Known issues

gotchaDo not install zipfile38 on Python 3.8 or newer; the standard library already has the features. It's intended for Python 3.6, 3.7, etc.

fix

Check sys.version_info before installing, or only install if Python < 3.8.

affects: all

deprecatedThis library is a backport of a now-stable standard library module. Future improvements will only be in the stdlib. Consider using the built-in zipfile if your Python version supports it.

fix

Use the standard library zipfile if Python >= 3.8.

affects: all

gotchaThe zipfile38 module overwrites the standard library's zipfile module's name. Be careful about mixed imports.

fix

Use 'from zipfile38 import ZipFile' explicitly rather than 'import zipfile38' to avoid confusion.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'zipfile38' has no attribute 'ZipFile'

Attempting to import ZipFile from the wrong location (e.g., zipfile38.ZipFile when the module is named zipfile38).

fix

Use: from zipfile38 import ZipFile

ImportError: No module named zipfile38

The zipfile38 package is not installed, or you are trying to import it on Python 3.8+ (where it is not needed).

fix

Install with pip install zipfile38, and ensure you are using Python < 3.8.
