Why are you copying the file before you try to unzip it?

Open the file in binary mode:

      f = open(filename, "rb")

Again, open the file in binary mode ("wb").

Not essential to the problem you are encountering, but you want 
shutil.copyfile(). Also, have a look at the shutil.copyfileobj() 
implementation to learn how to properly copy a file in chunks of limited 
size.
