Python crashing when trying to read zipped json files [closed]

Question

I downloaded the 2015 adverse drug events data from openfda and I want to run some analysis with python. I am a python newbie, but have become comfortable with the scikit-learn libraries, but I cannot seem to get the json decoding to work to even get started.

This is my basic script:

import json  
import zipfile  

d = None  
data = None  
with zipfile.ZipFile("./data/drug-event-Q4-0001-of-0013.json.zip", "r") as z:
   for filename in z.namelist():  
      print(filename)  
      with z.open(filename) as f:  
         data = f.read()  
         d = json.loads(data)  

I know this is a pretty basic question, but I have been searching and though I am able to find code snippets for gzip, I cannot find any for plain zip files.
