I have archive.zip with two files: hello.txt and world.txt
I want to overwrite hello.txt file with new one with that code:
import zipfile
z = zipfile.ZipFile('archive.zip','a')
z.write('hello.txt')
z.close()
but it won't overwrite file, somehow it creates another instance of hello.txt — take a look at winzip screenshot:
Since there is no smth like zipfile.remove(), what's the best way to handle this problem?
There's no way to do that with python zipfile module. You have to create a new zip file and recompress everything again from the first file, plus the new modified file.
Below is some code to do just that. But note that it isn't efficient, since it decompresses and then recompresses all data.
import tempfile
import zipfile
import shutil
import os
def remove_from_zip(zipfname, *filenames):
tempdir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
try:
tempname = os.path.join(tempdir, 'new.zip')
with zipfile.ZipFile(zipfname, 'r') as zipread:
with zipfile.ZipFile(tempname, 'w') as zipwrite:
for item in zipread.infolist():
if item.filename not in filenames:
data = zipread.read(item.filename)
zipwrite.writestr(item, data)
shutil.move(tempname, zipfname)
finally:
shutil.rmtree(tempdir)
Usage:
remove_from_zip('archive.zip', 'hello.txt')
with zipfile.ZipFile('archive.zip', 'a') as z:
z.write('hello.txt')

Building on nosklo's answer. UpdateableZipFile A class that inherits from ZipFile, maintians the same interface but adds the ability to overwrite files (via writestr or write) and removing files.

class UpdateableZipFile(ZipFile):
"""
Add delete (via remove_file) and update (via writestr and write methods)

Upon __exit__ (if updates were applied) a new zip file will override the exiting one with the updates

# Write a new file (with no conflict) to the zp
o.writestr("new_file", "more data")
# Overwrite a file with a file
o.write(r"C:\Temp\example.png", "word/settings.xml")
