How do you read a file inside a zip file as text, not bytes?

Question

A simple program for reading a CSV file inside a zip file works in Python 2.7, but not in Python 3.2

$ cat test_zip_file_py3k.py 
import csv, sys, zipfile

z         


        

Answer 1

And if you just like to read a file into a string:

with ZipFile('spam.zip') as myzip:
    with myzip.open('eggs.txt') as myfile:
       eggs = myfile.read().decode('UTF-8'))
