Extracting a zipfile to memory?

by

extractall extracts to the file system, so you won’t get what you want. To extract a file in memory, use the ZipFile.read() method.

If you really need the full content in memory, you could do something like:

def extract_zip(input_zip):
    input_zip=ZipFile(input_zip)
    return {name: input_zip.read(name) for name in input_zip.namelist()}
