# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

zip = chilkat2.Zip()

success = zip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/test.zip")

# Iterate of each entry in the zip.
# An entry can be a file or directory entry.  For each file, unzip to a byte array.
numEntries = zip.NumEntries
print("NumEntries = " + str(numEntries))

while i < numEntries :
    # entry is a CkZipEntry
    entry = zip.GetEntryByIndex(i)

        fileData = entry.Inflate()
        # Do whatever you wish with the file data...
