Python Unzip
Python Unzip:
In Python, the act of “unzipping” usually refers to one of two things:
- Extracting the contents of a zip archive file.
- “Unzipping” a list of tuples into separate lists.
Let’s explore each concept in a unique way:
- Extracting a Zip Archive
Python’s standard library includes the zipfile module, which provides tools for creating, reading, writing, appending, and listing a ZIP file.
Here’s a unique representation of how you might use zipfile to extract a ZIP file:
import zipfile
def dragon_unzip(file_name):
with zipfile.ZipFile(file_name, 'r') as dragon_mouth:
print(f"Releasing files from {file_name}!")
dragon_mouth.extractall()
print(f"Files successfully released from {file_name}!")
dragon_unzip('example.zip')
In this whimsical snippet, we’ve personified the ZIP file extraction process. The ZipFile object is referred to as dragon_mouth, and the process of extracting files is likened to a dragon releasing something from its mouth.
- Unzipping a List of Tuples
In Python, “unzipping” can also refer to the process of converting a list of tuples into separate lists. This is typically done using the zip(*iterable) function.
Here’s a unique representation of this concept:
def wizard_unzip(tuple_list):
potions, quantities = zip(*tuple_list)
print(f"Potion types: {potions}")
print(f"Potion quantities: {quantities}")
potion_inventory = [('Polyjuice', 10), ('Felix Felicis', 5), ('Veritaserum', 7)]
wizard_unzip(potion_inventory)
In this snippet, we’re unzipping a list of tuples that contain potion names and their quantities. The function wizard_unzip works like a wizard splitting the potion inventory into two categories – potion types and their quantities.
