You need to have round brackets to actually call the close method, i.e.: z.close() > ---------------------------------------- > > It works, I get the following in the Python Shell: > > '>>> ================================ RESTART ================================' > > '>>>' > > ['Lab_2/aforker/', 'Lab_2/aforker/aforker_Lab2.zip', > 'Lab_2/allisw99/', 'Lab_2/allisw99/allisw99_Lab2.zip', > 'Lab_2/allisw99/allisw99_Lab2_Bonus.pdf', 'Lab_2/allisw992/', > 'Lab_2/allisw992/allisw99_Lab2_Bonus.pdf', 'Lab_2/btaylor7/', > 'Lab_2/btaylor7/2nd_btaylor7_Lab2.zip', > 'Lab_2/btaylor7/btaylor7_Lab2.zip', 'Lab_2/'] Did you mean to have the paths of folders (e.g. 'Lab_2/aforker') in the same list as the paths of zip-files (e.g. 'Lab_2/aforker/aforker_Lab2.zip')? > > '>>> ' > > But, what I can't figure out is how to get 'into' each unique folder: > aforker, allisw99, etc. and then extract any and all zips within > 'aforker', 'allisw99', etc. > > I have no doubt that the suggestions posted here will work, but they > all seem to get away from a single .py file and.... > a) I can't get them to work, and > b) it doesn't really help me because I need ONE stand alone .py file > to make this all work in ArcGIS.

You should pass in the path to a zipfile not to a folder. Also you're opening the files in append mode 'a'. I think you really want read-only mode 'r'. > > I guess my first issue is to resolve the 'Permission denied' problem. > And, I know I need an 'if' statement, somehow... Remove the folder paths from the list of paths. Oscar
