Unzipping Files Using Python

Gather: Unzip File 2

Quiz

Modify the file and mode parameters in the Jupyter Notebook below as described at the end of the above video. Here is the relevant zipfile documentation for reference.

If you fill out these parameters correctly and run the cell, when you click the jupyter logo in the top lefthand corner of the notebook, you will see the extracted contents of the zip file in the Jupyter Notebook dashboard.

Note: if you run the cell with the wrong mode parameter, you may have to reset the workspace (click MENU in the bottom lefthand corner then RESET DATA ) to restore the original state of the zip file.

Workspace

This section contains either a workspace (it can be a Jupyter Notebook workspace or an online code editor work space, etc.) and it cannot be automatically downloaded to be generated here. Please access the classroom with your account and manually download the workspace to your local machine. Note that for some courses, Udacity upload the workspace files onto https://github.com/udacity , so you may be able to download them there.

Workspace Information:

Default file path:
