Extracting a .app from a zip file in Python, using ZipFile
- by Yakattak
I'm trying to extract new revisions of Chromium.app from their snapshots, and I can download the file fine, but when it comes to extracting it, ZipFile either extracts the chrome-mac folder within as a file, says that directories don't exist, etc. I am very new to python, so these errors make little sense to me. Here is what I have so far.
import urllib2
response = urllib2.urlopen('http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-mac/LATEST')
latestRev = response.read()
print latestRev
# we have the revision, now we need to download the zip and extract it
latestZip = urllib2.urlopen('http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-mac/%i/chrome-mac.zip' % (int(latestRev)), '~/Desktop/ChromiumUpdate/%i-update' % (int(latestRev)))
#declare some vars that hold paths n shit
workingDir = '/Users/slehan/Desktop/ChromiumUpdate/'
chromiumZipPath = '%s%i-update.zip' % (workingDir, (int(latestRev)))
chromiumAppPath = 'chrome-mac/' #the path of the chromium executable within the zip file
chromiumAppExtracted = '%s/Chromium.app' % (workingDir) # path of the extracted executable
output = open(chromiumZipPath, 'w') #delete any current file there
output.write(latestZip.read())
output.close()
# we have the .zip now we need to extract the Chromium.app file, it's in ziproot/chrome-mac/Chromium.app
import zipfile, os
zippedFile = open(chromiumZipPath)
zippedChromium = zipfile.ZipFile(zippedFile, 'r')
zippedChromium.extract(chromiumAppPath, workingDir)
#print zippedChromium.namelist()
zippedChromium.close()
#zippedChromium.close()
Any ideas?
