Extract multiple files in folder - [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Question

I'm running the following script to unzip several zipfiles from a directory:

import os
from zipfile import ZipFile

dir_name = f"C:/my_path/zip/{name}"

def main():

    for item in os.listdir(dir_name):
        with ZipFile(item, 'r') as zipObj: 
            listOfFileNames = zipObj.namelist()
            for fileName in listOfFileNames: 
                if fileName.endswith('.csv'):
                    for i in fileName:
                        zipObj.extract(fileName, f"C:/my_path/csv/{name}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

The point is that I've confirmed a hundred times that the zip files are stored in the right path but I can't run the script but I did succesfully in another computer (?)

What I am doing wrong?

This is the entire error message:

you shouldn't hard-code paths, see [no-such-file-or-directory-with-absolute-path](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58383714/no-such-file-or-directory-with-absolute-path/58383966#58383966) — RMPR, Oct 31 '19 at 22:43

I don't see a variable named `name`. However, you're referencing it in your f-strings. — S3DEV, Oct 31 '19 at 22:44

This might be the key:

Revise this line:

dir_name = f"C:/my_path/zip/{name}"

To:

dir_name = "C:/my_path/zip"

Why?
Because os.listdir is looking in a directory named "C:/my_path/zip/{name}" but it doesn't exist as the variable name has not been declared. Thus the error below, as triggered on my machine (albeit Linux, hence the non-Windows type path):

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/devmt/services/{name}'

Then, apply this logic throughout the rest of your function and perhaps use os.path.join to stitch your path and filenames together.

Indeed, the variable `name` is inherited from another part of thecode where I made a scraping to dowload the zip files. — Rodrigo Vargas, Oct 31 '19 at 23:21
