That's simple enough: of course one empty file would be "music.mp3.zip.zip.zip", while the other would be "movie.avi.zip.zip.zip.zip.zip"... some sort of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_memory applied to file system entries :-)
If you're allowed to alternate between two compression methods, then the way you decompress music.mp3.zip.zip.tgz.zip...........tgz.zip.tgz is to output 0 each time zip was applied and 1 each time tar/gz was applied. You may be able to take some shortcuts in some cases, e.g. anything beginning with "movie.flv" almost certainly contains a cute kitten video. (Unless it's found inside an encrypted disk partition, in which case it contains porn.) -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
