Python zipfile.extract() doesn't extract all files

Question

I'm trying to extract zipped folder using code found here.

def unzip(source_filename, dest_dir):
with zipfile.ZipFile(source_filename) as zf:

    for member in zf.infolist():
        words = member.filename.split('/')
        path = dest_dir
        for word in words[:-1]:
            drive, word = os.path.splitdrive(word)
            head, word = os.path.split(word)
            if word in (os.curdir, os.pardir, ''): continue
            path = os.path.join(path, word)
        zf.extract(member, path)

But when trying to extract, for example, wordpress.zip with directory structure
wordpress/
-wp-content/
---somefile.php
-wp-config.php
-index.php
I only get the files in folder below root folder or wordpress/ in this case. So i get wordpress/wp-content/somefile.php but not the files in the wordpress/ folder itself.

Answer 1

The first place to look is the documentation:

ZipFile.extractall([path[, members[, pwd]]])

Applying that to your situation, I'd try:

def unzip(source_filename, dest_dir):
    with zipfile.ZipFile(source_filename) as zf:
        zf.extractall(dest_dir)

Answer 2

unzip, defined below, is what you want.

def unzip(source_filename, dest_dir):
    with zipfile.ZipFile(source_filename) as zf:
        zf.extractall(dest_dir)
