You can use two modules. One is 'zip', and it creates '.zip' files, and the other is 'gtar/tar
-z' that can create '.tar.gz' files. On Unix, use 'man zip' and 'man (g)tar' to see the options.
Both '.zip' and '.tar.gz' files can be opened by Winzip. On Unix, you can use 'unzip' and
'gtar/tar' to open the files.
