Python Zip-File, wildcards

Question

I was wondering how I could tell Python to extract only ".txt" files from a zip folder, using a wildcard. This code works fine for me:

extractor.extract("\websitefiles\test.hmtl")"

How can I use this same code to extract all .txt files in that current directory? I was thinking something like this:

extractor.extract(".*.txt")

but it failed to work.. Any ideas???

First, you need the file names list, using namelist(). Then, you can filter the "*.txt" files with txtfiles = fnmatch.filter(fn_list,"*.txt") Now you can extract the files one by one:

extracts = [ extractor.extract(txt) for txt in txtfiles ]
