[Python] How to Open Zip File in Host Location.

We know, if we use the requests to open the url of the zip file and open it, obviously, it will take quite a long time.

For instance

def getZIP(zipFileName):
    r = requests.get(zipFileName).content
    s = StringIO.StringIO(r)
    zf = zipfile.ZipFile(s, 'r') # Read in a list of zipped files
    return zf

url = 'http://seanlahman.com/files/database/lahman-csv_2014-02-14.zip'
zf = getZIP(url)
tablenames = zf.namelist()
print tablenames

But

• Use the Browser to download the online file is fast(, Browser is powerful)
• Use the open clause to open the host location path file and return the File Object
  

def getZIP(zipFileName):
    zf = zipfile.ZipFile(zipFileName, 'r')
    return zf

fileobj = '/home/xxx/temp/lahman-csv_2014-02014/lahman-csv_2014-02-14.zip'
zf = getZIP(fileobj)
tablenames = zf.namelist()
print tablenames
