files named file can confuse python – try naming it something else. if it STILL wont work, try this code:
def fixBadZipfile(zipFile):
f = open(zipFile, 'r+b')
data = f.read()
pos = data.find('\x50\x4b\x05\x06') # End of central directory signature
if (pos > 0):
self._log("Trancating file at location " + str(pos + 22)+ ".")
f.seek(pos + 22) # size of 'ZIP end of central directory record'
f.truncate()
f.close()
else:
# raise error, file is truncated
