See https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/zipfile.html#zipfile.ZipFile.open

To open a particular member and get back a file-like object.

Once you have that, you can use the  read() method of that object.

Once you've coded this, if it doesn't work, post what you've got with a 
description of what doesn't work, and somebody here will be able to fix 
it up.
