title: How to read zip file content without unzipping (in compressed format) using Python
body: <p>I have to publish a zip file to the server. This involves reading the file and uploading.</p>
  
  <pre><code>zfile=zipfile.ZipFile(x,"r")
  data = zfile.read()
  zfile.close()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This won't work as <code>read()</code> needs an additional argument-filename to uncompress.</p>
