the module is named "zipfile" (http://docs.python.org/lib/module-
zipfile.html)

http://docs.python.org/lib/zipfile-objects.html#zipfile-objects has
more indepth information on all functions

I can't say i've ever used it, but it seems pretty straightforward and
mostly reminiscent of the basic read/write file modules.
