rename a zipped file in python
Question: I have a zipped file. Inside of it I have a`.tvx` file - which I want to
rename to `.xml` . So I tried the following: (of course, I imported all the
relevant modules).

    
    
    with zipfile.ZipFile(file_name) as z:
        for filename in z.namelist():
            if not os.path.isdir(filename):
                 os.rename(filename,filename.replace("tvx","xml"))
    

and the error I got was:

> WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified

I thought that maybe the error was because the filename is not in absolute
path,

so I tried also this:

    
    
    with zipfile.ZipFile(complete_name) as z:
        for filename in z.namelist():
        if not os.path.isdir(filename):
            filename=os.path.abspath(filename) #making filename absolute path
            os.rename(filename,filename.replace("tvx","xml"))
    

but still, the same error.


Answer: You can't rename file within the zip file, So you should extract, rename and
rezip the file.
