reading multiple files contained in a zip file with pandas

You can pass ZipFile.open() to pandas.read_csv() to construct a pandas.DataFrame from a csv-file packed into a multi-file zip.

Code:

pd.read_csv(zip_file.open('file3.txt'))

Example to read all .csv into a dict:

from zipfile import ZipFile

zip_file = ZipFile('textfile.zip')
dfs = {text_file.filename: pd.read_csv(zip_file.open(text_file.filename))
       for text_file in zip_file.infolist()
       if text_file.filename.endswith('.csv')}
