下载并解压缩内存中的gzip压缩文件？

Question

我想使用urllib下载文件并在保存之前将文件解压缩到内存中.

这就是我现在所拥有的:

response = urllib2.urlopen(baseURL + filename)
compressedFile = StringIO.StringIO()
compressedFile.write(response.read())
decompressedFile = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=compressedFile, mode='rb')
outfile = open(outFilePath, 'w')
outfile.write(decompressedFile.read())

这最终会写出空文件.我怎样才能实现我追求的目标？

更新答案:

#! /usr/bin/env python2
import urllib2
import StringIO
import gzip

baseURL = "https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/"        
# check filename: it may change over time, due to new updates
filename = "man-pages-5.00.tar.gz" 
outFilePath = filename[:-3]

response = urllib2.urlopen(baseURL + filename)
compressedFile = StringIO.StringIO(response.read())
decompressedFile = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=compressedFile)

with open(outFilePath, 'w') as outfile:
    outfile.write(decompressedFile.read())

Answer 1

你需要compressedFile在写入之后但在传递给它之前寻求开始gzip.GzipFile().否则,它将从gzip模块末尾读取,并将显示为空文件.见下文:

#! /usr/bin/env python
import urllib2
import StringIO
import gzip

baseURL = "https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/"
filename = "man-pages-3.34.tar.gz"
outFilePath = "man-pages-3.34.tar"

response = urllib2.urlopen(baseURL + filename)
compressedFile = StringIO.StringIO()
compressedFile.write(response.read())
#
# Set the file's current position to the beginning
# of the file so that gzip.GzipFile can read
# its contents from the top.
#
compressedFile.seek(0)

decompressedFile = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=compressedFile, mode='rb')

with open(outFilePath, 'w') as outfile:
    outfile.write(decompressedFile.read())

Answer 2

对于使用Python 3的用户,相同的答案是:

import urllib.request
import io
import gzip

response = urllib.request.urlopen(FILE_URL)
compressed_file = io.BytesIO(response.read())
decompressed_file = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=compressed_file)

with open(OUTFILE_PATH, 'wb') as outfile:
    outfile.write(decompressed_file.read())

Answer 3

如果你有Python 3.2或更高版本,生活会更容易:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import gzip
import urllib.request

baseURL = "https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/"
filename = "man-pages-4.03.tar.gz"
outFilePath = filename[:-3]

response = urllib.request.urlopen(baseURL + filename)
with open(outFilePath, 'wb') as outfile:
    outfile.write(gzip.decompress(response.read()))
