Zip client

[adam-247]

I have a simple zip client and all work ok. But when it zips it
creates every single folder that leads up to the folder i want to zip.
I.e

users - adamplowman - sites - rubberduckiee - xhina - files -
pictures

when all i want the zip folder to show is just whats in the pictures
folder.

[code]
import zipfile, os

def makeArchive(fileList, archive):
    """
    'fileList' is a list of file names - full path each name
    'archive' is the file name for the archive with a full path
    """
    try:
        paths = os.path.abspath('')
        a = zipfile.ZipFile(archive, 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
        for f in fileList:
            print "archiving file %s" % (f)
            a.write(f)
        a.close()
        return True
    except: return False

def dirEntries(dir_name, subdir, *args):

    paths = os.path.abspath('')
    fileList = []
    for file in os.listdir(paths+"/rubberduckiee/Xinha/plugins/
ExtendedFileManager/files/"+dir_name):
        dirfile = os.path.join(dir_name, file)
        if os.path.isfile(paths+"/rubberduckiee/Xinha/plugins/
ExtendedFileManager/files/"+dirfile):
            if not args:
                fileList.append(paths+"/rubberduckiee/Xinha/plugins/
ExtendedFileManager/files/"+dirfile)
            else:
                if os.path.splitext(dirfile)[1][1:] in args:
                    fileList.append(paths+"/rubberduckiee/Xinha/
plugins/ExtendedFileManager/files/"+dirfile)
        # recursively access file names in subdirectories
        elif os.path.isdir(paths+"/rubberduckiee/Xinha/plugins/
ExtendedFileManager/files/"+dirfile) and subdir:
            print "Accessing directory:", dirfile
            fileList.extend(dirEntries(dirfile, subdir, *args))
    return fileList

if __name__ == '__main__':

    folder = "Pictures"
    zipname = 'test.zip'
    makeArchive(dirEntries(folder, True), zipname)

[/code]

Since this question has nothing to do with tg I'd suggest asking for
help on python-list@... the regular python mailing list. For
subscription info please see

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Also, I'd think reading the documentation of zip might help.

HTH,
Daniel
