Recursive Call Going Elsewhere?
#2
Update: The problem appears to be that python can't readily process nested zip files. I found code online that will do 2 levels, but I'm having issues making that same code recursive for nested zip files beyond 2 levels. I think I may need to extract files to a temp directory and always process the same way rather than try to get Python to figure it out using limited, non-recursive, code like this:

def processZipFile(filePath):
    global totalMatches
    try:
        with zipfile.ZipFile(filePath, 'r') as zfile:
            for name in zfile.namelist():
                if re.search(r'\.zip$', name) != None:
                    zfiledata = io.BytesIO(zfile.read(name))
                    with zipfile.ZipFile(zfiledata) as zfile2:
                        for name2 in zfile2.namelist():
                            if (not str(name2).endswith("zip")):
                                print(name2)
                            else:
                                read_file()
                else:
                    read_file()
    except IOError:
        print("IO Error in reading zip file data.")
