hi I want to zip a folder using python script. I have written below piece of code, but i found that total size of all file is equal to the size of resultant zip file. so no compression is done. Its just put all the files in a folder and say save it with an extension(.zip). May be i am wrong someway, but i checked it correctly.
import zipfile, os archive_list = os.listdir("logs_21-01-2010") # save the files in the archive_list into a PKZIP format .zip file zfilename = "logs_21-01-2010_.zip" zout = zipfile.ZipFile(zfilename, "w") for fname in archive_list: fname = "logs_21-01-2010\\"+fname print fname zout.write(fname) zout.close() # test if the file is a valid pkzip file if zipfile.is_zipfile(zfilename): print "%s is a valid pkzip file" % zfilename else: print "%s is not a valid pkzip file" % zfilename thnks in advance ah
