Fixing "PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied"

[puredata]

If permission really is the problem, you could try to run the program with admin user level. Also, I would keep your slashes as backslashes if you're using Windows.
-707

Now I'm trying the same on a mac and don't get the permission error but I get this instead

Error:
    self.fp = io.open(file, filemode)
IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/Users/berkaytok/Documents/Boundary_Datasets'

so I imagine stullis seems correct that this script expects a single zip file.

According to the docs, zipfile.ZipFile() expects a file, not a directory. I'd wager that's the culprit. Try creating the file first and passing that into zipfile.ZipFile().

Moving on to my previous script;

import os
import zipfile

user: str = os.getlogin() #to be used in directory names
#item = 'item'  # i am not sure if this is necessary
dir_name = "/Users/{0}//Documents/Boundary_Datasets".format(user) #folder that contains multiple zipfiles which some of them have subfolders in those zipfiles
extract = "/Users/{0}//Documents/Boundary_Datasets/new".format(user) #main folder to be used as an output folder
extension = ".zip" 
#file_name = dir_name + "/" + item #i am not sure if this is necessary

os.chdir(dir_name)  # change directory from working dir to dir with files

for item in os.listdir(dir_name):  # loop through items in dir
    if item.endswith(extension):  # check for ".zip" extension
        file_name = os.path.abspath(item)  # get full path of files
        zip_ref = zipfil e.ZipFile(file_name)  # create zipfile object
        zip_ref.extractall(extract)  # extract file to dir
        zip_ref.close()  # close file
        # os.remove(file_name) # delete zipped file

Can anyone help me to modify this so that it not only extracts the first subfolder content but all subfolders and extract all files into one main folder?
