unzipping file results in “BadZipFile: File is not a zip file”

However when i open them with Python\'s zipfile module [ zipfile.ZipFile(\"filex.zip\"

Answer 1

I run into the same issue. My problem was that it was a gzip instead of a zip file. I switched to the class gzip.GzipFile and it worked like a charm.
