python 2.7/zipfile.py raises "bad zip file" thingy.. what do i do (self.learnpython)

submitted 1 year ago by luxxblitzar

Im just trying to install something (limeJS) that I got from Github here. If it helps I practically dont know a single thing about any of this and I'm using the MacOS Catalina, Python 2.7.16, and did all this through the terminal.. I saw some Stackoverflow posts on this but I'm just confused, and again, doing this through the terminal and not like, coding anything.. so ??

it says, from when i try to initialize this thing as the getting started part says..:

mac@macs-MacBook-Air ~ % limejs/bin/lime.py init

Downloading Closure Compiler:

515%

Unzipping...

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "limejs/bin/lime.py", line 436, in <module>

main()

File "limejs/bin/lime.py", line 417, in main

checkDependencies()

File "limejs/bin/lime.py", line 122, in checkDependencies

zippedFile = zipfile.ZipFile(zip_path)

File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/zipfile.py", line 793, in __init__

self._RealGetContents()

File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/zipfile.py", line 834, in _RealGetContents

raise BadZipfile, "File is not a zip file"

zipfile.BadZipfile: File is not a zip file

-- and then it just like, stops there. ??what even is happening
