success = zip.OpenZip("test.zip")
if (success == False):

entry = chilkat2.ZipEntry()

success = zip.EntryOf("hamlet.xml",entry)
if (success == False):
    print(zip.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

success = zip.EntryOf("helloWorld.pl",entry)
if (success == False):
    print(zip.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

entry.FileName = "hw.pl"

# Now unzip to the "test" subdirectory, under our current
# working directory:
numFilesUnzipped = zip.Unzip("test")
if (numFilesUnzipped < 0):
    print(zip.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# The filenames within the .zip are unchanged, but it unzipped
# test/hw.pl and test/hamlet2.xm
