Extract All Zipped Files to Same Directory Using Python

I have a large amount of zipped files in a single directory that I would like to decompress and save them to the same directory and with the same name as the zipped file.

Start with something like:

import glob
import os
import zipfile

zip_files = glob.glob('*.zip')

for zip_filename in zip_files:
    dir_name = os.path.splitext(zip_filename)[0]
    os.mkdir(dir_name)
    zip_handler = zipfile.ZipFile(zip_filename, "r")
    zip_handler.extractall(dir_name)

Sorry, I don't have time to test this code; any bug is left as an exercise for you.
