Line endings will drive you up the wall. Anyway, the python zipfile
library does not seem to be doing any translations. The code below
works for me.
# begin code
import zipfile
import os.path
# First create some work data...
csv_data = '1,2\r\n3,4\r\n5,6\r\n'
# Now, create the zipfile
zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(r'c:\tmp\test.zip', 'w',
zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
zip_file.writestr('test.csv',csv_data)
zip_file.close()
# Now, extract the info
zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(r'c:\tmp\test.zip')
assert len(zip_file.read('test.csv')) == len(csv_data)
# end code
Something else must be tweaking your line endings.
HTH!
