You could use the ZipFile class in python to get the data read in as
well.  I'm not sure how this will affect the codecs.open() method that
you are currently using, but here's some example code:
>>> import zipfile
>>> file = zipfile.ZipFile("liquid_weather.skz")
>>> translations = file.read('translations/English')

Btw, I looked at the os.chdir() you have, and I'm not sure why you chdir
into the theme path to execute 'dcop kxdocker'?
I may be missing something as I only looked over it quickly.
