Ohh.. this is new to me!

https://docs.python.org/2/library/tarfile.html
https://docs.python.org/2/library/zipfile.html

What is missing in the documentation:
Is the tar/zip file generation done in memory or will it be written
directly to disk?

My program creates zip or tar files up to TB size. This cannot be done in
memory.
