Unzip nested zip files in python

Question

I am looking for a way to unzip nested zip files in python. For example, consider the following structure (hypothetical names for ease):

• Folder
  • Zipfi

Answer 1

Unfortunately decompressing zip files requires random access to the archive, and the ZipFile methods (not to mention the DEFLATE algorithm itself) only provide streams. It is therefore impossible to decompress nested zip files without extracting them.
