"file_name" should get the file path to your "zip" archive.
This path likely ends in "ks.zip" but likely has a prefix -- either to form
an "absolute" path (one starting with "/") or a relative path
starting from the "current working directory".

In the "with" block, "zip" is a "ZipFile Object".
Read its documentation in the "zipfile" module documentation.
Especially look at "namelist" (this give you the member names
of the archive) and "open" or "read".

The members of a folder in the "zip" archive will be charaterized
by a name prefix, ending in the folder name followed by "/".
There may (or may not) be a prefix before the folder name.
