The following code throws an AttributeError when attempting to extract a malformed archive (attached):

import zipfile
import sys

zf = zipfile.ZipFile(sys.argv[1])
for info in zf.infolist():
  zf.extract(info.filename)

Result:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "code.py", line 6, in <module>
    zf.extract(info.filename)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/zipfile.py", line 1607, in extract

Hi, 

Thank you for your report

1. but do you have the bz2 lib on your system, because without that, Python is not compiled with the support of this format.

2. your file seems to have an issue.

 unzip attr0.zip 
Archive:  attr0.zip
  inflating: zipfile_extract.py      
  error:  invalid compressed data to inflate
 bad CRC 00000000  (should be 88075377)

Please could you check again your compilation step and retry with an other file.

I'm closing this issue.

Thank you

I also recommend that you read this document about the compilation and installation of Python and its dependencies.

https://devguide.python.org/setup/#compile-and-build

Thank you

The OP's report is valid and they already stated that the file is malformed. More importantly, this can be reproduced with a valid ZIP file as well.

The correct behavior is to get RuntimeError in this case.

_check_compression() needs to be called before _get_decompressor().

There is no issue when getting the compressor object because _check_compression() is called inside _writecheck().
