copied!<p>This is lifted from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/458436/adding-folders-to-a-zip-file-using-python/792199#792199">Adding folders to a zip file using python</a> but is the only function I have tried that works. The one listed as the answer does not work under Python 2.7.3 (doesn't copy empty directories and is inefficient). The following is tried and tested:</p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/python import os import zipfile def zipdir(dirPath=None, zipFilePath=None, includeDirInZip=True): if not zipFilePath: zipFilePath = dirPath + ".zip" if not os.path.isdir(dirPath): raise OSError("dirPath argument must point to a directory. " "'%s' does not." % dirPath) parentDir, dirToZip = os.path.split(dirPath) #Little nested function to prepare the proper archive path def trimPath(path): archivePath = path.replace(parentDir, "", 1) if parentDir: archivePath = archivePath.replace(os.path.sep, "", 1) if not includeDirInZip: archivePath = archivePath.replace(dirToZip + os.path.sep, "", 1) return os.path.normcase(archivePath) outFile = zipfile.ZipFile(zipFilePath, "w", compression=zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) for (archiveDirPath, dirNames, fileNames) in os.walk(dirPath): for fileName in fileNames: filePath = os.path.join(archiveDirPath, fileName) outFile.write(filePath, trimPath(filePath)) #Make sure we get empty directories as well if not fileNames and not dirNames: zipInfo = zipfile.ZipInfo(trimPath(archiveDirPath) + "/") #some web sites suggest doing #zipInfo.external_attr = 16 #or #zipInfo.external_attr = 48 #Here to allow for inserting an empty directory. Still TBD/TODO. outFile.writestr(zipInfo, "") outFile.close() </code></pre>
