[Chicago] django streaming zip

[Chris Sinchok]

A couple thoughts on this:

1. You could use the `zipfile` module to create a temporary file, and then
stream that, deleting it once the streaming is done.
2. You could try something like this, which appears to do almost exactly
what you want: https://github.com/allanlei/python-zipstream (I've
personally never tried this package before, though)
