When encountering the KeyError: “there is no item named ‘[content_types].xml’ in the archive” error, it usually means that the specified key is not present in the dictionary or object being accessed.

To fix this error, you need to first make sure that you are accessing the correct key. Double-check the spelling and ensure that the key exists in the object you are trying to access.

Here is an example to illustrate this error:


archive = {
    'filename': 'example.docx',
    'size': '10KB'
}

content_type = archive['[content_types].xml']

In this example, the KeyError occurs because the key ‘[content_types].xml’ does not exist in the ‘archive’ dictionary. To avoid this error, you can either remove the line that tries to access this key or add the key with its corresponding value to the dictionary.

Here’s an updated example:


archive = {
    'filename': 'example.docx',
    'size': '10KB',
    '[content_types].xml': 'text/xml'
}

content_type = archive['[content_types].xml']

In this updated example, the KeyError is resolved by adding the key ‘[content_types].xml’ to the ‘archive’ dictionary with the value ‘text/xml’. Now, accessing the key will not result in a KeyError.
