I would like to write a simple script to iterate through all the files in a folder and unzip those that are zipped (.zip) to that same folder. For this project, I have a folder

Answer 1

You need to construct a ZipFile object with the filename, and then extract it:

    zipfile.ZipFile.extract(item)

is wrong.

    zipfile.ZipFile(item).extractall()

will extract all files from the zip file with the name contained in item.

I think you should more closely read the documentation to zipfile :) but you're on the right track!
