#  It can be unzipped to disk:

if (fileCount < 0):
    print zip.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Alternatively, individual entries may be unzipped into memory.
#  In this case, it is unzipped into a string:

addCR = True
entry = zip.GetEntryByName("hamlet.xml")
if (not (entry == None )):
    #  If the file has bare LF line endings, add the CR to get
    #  CRLF line endings.
    fileContents = entry.inflateToString(addCR)
    print fileContents
