Python, reading a zip file comment

Question

how do I read a ZIP file comment with python? I tried using

import zipfile
archive = zipfile.ZipFile('D:\XXX\Desktop\MyZip.zip', 'r')
comment = archive.comment("firstobj.1")

but it does not work... Any help would be appreciated :) thanks

Answer 1

archive.comment() takes no argument and returns the comment of the archive itself.

To get a comment on an item, get it first using getinfo, then take the comment field:

import zipfile
archive = zipfile.ZipFile(r'D:\XXX\Desktop\MyZip.zip', 'r')
print(archive.getinfo("firstobj.1").comment)
