Using zipfile.py

[Mario Tola]

I know I'm late as you have already find the answere, but here you can find
also how to extraxt file from archives:

import zipfile
import glob, os

#Create a new zip file named new.zip and add to it
# all files in 'E:\' whose extension is '.bmp' without saving complete path
zf = zipfile.ZipFile (".\\new.zip", "w", 8)
for file in glob.glob ("e:\\*.bmp"):
     # First parameter is the file to add to the archive, second is the name
of
     # the file in archive (here is the first name without path).
     zf.write (file, os.path.split (file)[1])
zf.close ()

#Reopen the zipped file and extract the content in c:\
zf =zipfile.ZipFile (".\\new.zip", "r")
for file in zf.listdir ():
     newFile = open ("c:\\" + file, "wb")
     newFile.write (zf.read (file))
     newFile.close()
zf.close()

This work with python 1.5.2. I know in 1.6 ther's a zipfile.py module built
in,
but I don't know if his interface is the same as the old module.
