Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch THanks Marc, That makes sense. I can zip the files to a temp directory. However, How do I deliver the archive to them?... Like you deliver any other content in a cgi (assuming you are using a cgi): By printing in on standard output. I don't know TurboGears though. cheers, Danny -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Zipping Files to user defined Directory
Hi There. I'm very new to python, and I have been using the TurboGears Framework to use python to power my application. I have a class which handles the upload of a file to a directory called uploads, which is hosted on a server. my problems is that when I want to download that file from the server I want to zip the files selected. but how does a user specify where they want to save that file?. I the user will be selecting the files they want to download and I want to zip those files and let the user save it. I want to know how to let the user specify where to save the zipped files. Any ideas?..any python to help me do this?? i know i can use the zipfile module but I can't figure out the part about letting the user decide. Thank you Stephen Sandhu -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
