About zipfile on WinXP

[Justin Ezequiel]

here's a small script I wrote and use
note the line
arcname = os.path.splitdrive(p)[-1].lstrip(os.sep)

if I comment out `.lstrip(os.sep)`, I get a zip file like rzed
describes

###############################
import sys
import zipfile
import time
import os

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pths = sys.argv[1:]
    assert pths, 'usage: %s file1 [file2 [file3 ...]]' % sys.argv[0]
    zpth = os.path.abspath(time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S.zip'))
    zf = zipfile.ZipFile(zpth, 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
    for p in pths:
        p = os.path.abspath(p)
        arcname = os.path.splitdrive(p)[-1].lstrip(os.sep)
        zf.write(p, arcname)
        print arcname, p
    zf.close()
    print '%s files written to %s' % (len(pths), zpth)
