Extract from zip file to a list

Question

I'm trying to extract a set of photos from a zip file using python and then saving those pictures to an image list to do some work on each.

I tried a lot, but nothing was useful to me.

Answer 1

Try this:

import zipfile

path = 'path_to_zip.zip'
input_zip = zipfile.ZipFile(path)
l = [input_zip.read(name) for name in input_zip.namelist()]

To Display one of the images you can do:

import io

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from PIL import Image

image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(l[0]))
plt.imshow(image)
