pooch.Unzip

class pooch.Unzip(members=None, extract_dir=None)[source]

Processor that unpacks a zip archive and returns a list of all files.

Use with pooch.Pooch.fetch or pooch.retrieve to unzip a downloaded data file into a folder in the local data store. The method/function will return a list with the names of the unzipped files instead of the zip archive.

The output folder is {fname}.unzip.

Parameters

  • members (list or None) – If None, will unpack all files in the zip archive. Otherwise, members must be a list of file names to unpack from the archive. Only these files will be unpacked.

  • extract_dir (str or None) – If None, files will be unpacked to the default location (a folder in the same location as the downloaded zip file, with the suffix .unzip added). Otherwise, files will be unpacked to extract_dir, which is interpreted as a relative path (relative to the cache location provided by pooch.retrieve or pooch.Pooch.fetch).
