hi
I want to zip a folder using python script. I have written below piece 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

external utility to do the compression instead of doing it from within the
Python zipfile module. You can also pass compression arguments like -9
