How can I create a zip archive of a directory structure in Python?
27 s
The easiest way is to use shutil.make_archive. It supports both zip and tar formats.
import shutil
shutil.make_archive(output_filename, 'zip', dir_name)
If you need to do something more complicated than zipping the whole directory (such as skipping certain files), then you’ll need to dig into the zipfile module as others have suggested.
