Python Unzipping files with different name to a different location

Question

I am trying to extract the files from a zip archive and appending "EI" to each file inside it. I want these files to be extracted in a certain location. I'm new to python, hence unable to figure out.

for i in zip_list:
    if ("Rally-EI" in i):
        zipdata = zipfile.ZipFile(i)
        zipinfos = zipdata.infolist()

        for zipinfo in zipinfos:
            zipinfo.filename = zipinfo.filename[:-4] + "_EI.txt"
            zipdata.extract(zipinfo)

This is the code I'm using for appending the file name and it is working well. Need to extract these files to a specific location.

Thanks

Try using os.chdir() to change the current directory temporarily for this extraction. It's not the most efficient way, but, it will do the work.

Do save your current working directory using os.getcwd() to revert back to the original working directory after the extraction is done.
