Try this: <code> import os from os.path import dirname, exists, splitext, join from zipfile import ZipFile, ZIP_DEFLATED def unpack(archname): arch = ZipFile(archname, 'r') for path in arch.namelist(): print path dname = dirname(path) if not exists(dname): os.makedirs(dname) if splitext(path)[1]: f = open(path, 'wb') f.write(arch.read(path)) f.close() arch.close() def pack(archname, paths): arch = ZipFile(archname, 'w', ZIP_DEFLATED) for path in paths: for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path): for fname in files: fname = join(root, fname) print fname arch.write(fname) arch.close() unpack('test.jar') pack('test2.jar', ['com', 'META-INF']) </code> -- HTH, Rob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
