Python ZipFile is a class of zipfile module for reading and writing zip files. ZIP is the archive file format that supports the lossless data compression. By lossless compression, we mean that the compression algorithm allows the original data to be entirely reconstructed from the compressed data. So, a ZIP file is the single file containing one or more compressed files, offering an easy way to make large files smaller and keep related files together.

Python unzip

To work on zip files using Python, we will use an inbuilt python module called  zipfile. In Python’s zipfile module, the ZipFile class provides a member function to extract all the contents from a ZIP archive. Python ZipFile.extractall() is a method that takes a path, members, pwd as an argument and extracts all the contents.
