Reading ZIP Archives

PGReaper provides an intutive way to access files stored in ZIP archives. You can also pass the references to these files to PGReaper's normal reader functions like copy_csv().

Step 1: Read the ZIP Archive

pgreaper.read_zip

Step 2: Get the Specific File

pgreaper.io.zip.ZipFile

Notes: File Opening Safety

Opening a file within a ZIP archive using the methods above creates a ZipReader object. These objects are like any other file-like objects in Python--supporting read() and readline() methods, but can only be used as context managers.
