Would it be enough to show progress based on how many files have
been added to the zip? If you're zipping just one huge file, I'm
afraid you can't get a progress bar using the zipfile module.

If it's not necessary that the one file is a zip but simply
compressed,
you can use zlib or bz2 modules to compress incrementally:
