I want to create a file object from a file that is inside a zip. I don’t wanna extract that file. Actually I wanna use seek method on a file that is inside a zip. My code:
from zipfile import ZipFile input_zip = ZipFile("xyz.zip") file_name = input_zip.namelist()[0] input_zip.read(name)
But I can’t use seek method on it. I wanna make it like this but without extracting the file:
file = open("new.txt", 'rb') file.seek(14)

The documentation says seek
is supported, you just need to open it the right way (as shown there).
