Python - Delete files in a zip archive

Question

I would like to know how to delete a file in a zip archive with python and if it is possible to do it with the os module or with the zipfile module

Answer 1

Sorry, but I can't comment. How about extracting, deleting and re-archiving? Whichever process you try, to delete a file in a zip, the whole zip has to be extracted.

You can mount a zip on Windows or Linux , and use python to delete a file in the zip the same way as you delete a normal file. Even if that doesn't look like, in this process too, the zip file will be rebuilt.
