zenodozipdownloader 0.1.0a1

Download and extract (single) files from ZIP archives in Zenodo records.

ZenodoZipDownloader

A Python package to download and extract selected files from ZIP archives in Zenodo records, with pattern matching, CRC32 integrity checks, and robust retry logic.

Features

• Download files from Zenodo records using DOI or record URL
• Filter ZIP files and inner files using glob patterns
• Download only a subset of files if desired
• CRC32 integrity check for downloaded files
• Retry logic for network and file operations
• Command-line interface (CLI)

Installation

pip install zenodozipdownloader

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/zenodozipdownloader.git
cd zenodozipdownloader
pip install .

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or newer
• Network access to https://zenodo.org/
• Optional: tqdm for download progress (see below)

Optional progress bar

The package can show download progress if tqdm is available. Install it alongside the downloader with:

pip install zenodozipdownloader[tqdm]

Usage

As a Python module

# [optional] set logging level to INFO for more verbose output
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

from zenodozipdownloader import ZenodoZipDownloader

doi = "10.5281/zenodo.5423457"
downloader = ZenodoZipDownloader(doi, download_dir="zenodo_downloads")
downloaded_files = downloader.download(zip_pattern="*.zip", inner_pattern="*tubulin*.mat")

for path in downloaded_files:
    print(f"Saved: {path}")

By default:

• Extracted files stay inside the chosen download_dir; unsafe ZIP paths are skipped.
• All files are downloaded unless you provide inner_pattern.
• Downloads retry up to three times and validate CRC32 checksums.

As a CLI tool

zenodozipdownloader 10.5281/zenodo.5423457 --download_dir zenodo_downloads --zip_pattern "*.zip" --inner_pattern "*tubulin*.mat"

Run zenodozipdownloader --help for the full CLI reference. It shares defaults with the Python API; omit --first_n_zip and --first_n_inner to process every match.

Arguments

• doi: Zenodo DOI or record URL
• --download_dir: Directory to save downloaded files (default: current directory)
• --zip_pattern: Glob pattern for ZIP files in the record (default: *.zip)
• --inner_pattern: Glob pattern for files inside ZIPs (default: all)
• --first_n_zip: Only process the first N matching ZIP files (default: all)
• --first_n_inner: Only download the first N matching files within each ZIP (default: all)
