Python function to stream unzip all the files in a ZIP archive, without loading the entire ZIP file into memory or any of its uncompressed files
Python function to stream unzip all the files in a ZIP archive, without loading the entire ZIP file into memory or any of its uncompressed files.
To create ZIP files on the fly try stream-zip.
In addition to being memory efficient, stream-unzip supports:
Deflate-compressed ZIPs. The is the historical standard for ZIP files.
Deflate64-compressed ZIPs. These are created by certain versions of Windows Explorer in some circumstances. Python's zipfile module cannot open Deflate64-compressed ZIPs.
Zip64 ZIP files. These are ZIP files that allow sizes far beyond the approximate 4GiB limit of the original ZIP format.
WinZip-style AES-encrypted / password-protected ZIPs. Python's zipfile module cannot open AES-encrypted ZIPs.
Legacy-encrypted / password-protected ZIP files. This is also known as ZipCrypto/Zip 2.0. Decrypting ZipCrypto with stream-unzip is approximately 10 times faster than Python's zipfile module.
ZIP files created by Java's ZipOutputStream that are larger than 4GiB. At the time of writing libarchive-based stream readers cannot read these without error.
BZip2-compressed ZIPs.
An async interface that supports both asyncio and trio (which uses threads under the hood).
