How to extract file from zip without maintaining directory structure in Python?

You can use zipfile.ZipFile.open:

import shutil
import zipfile

with zipfile.ZipFile('/path/to/my_file.apk') as z:
    with z.open('/res/drawable/icon.png') as zf, open('temp/icon.png', 'wb') as f:
        shutil.copyfileobj(zf, f)

Or use zipfile.ZipFile.read:

import zipfile

with zipfile.ZipFile('/path/to/my_file.apk') as z:
    with open('temp/icon.png', 'wb') as f:
        f.write(z.read('/res/drawable/icon.png'))
