The primary function of the zipfile module is to manage ZIP archives. To create UTP13.zip , you must open the file in write mode ( 'w' ) and then use .write(filename, arcname) to add your content.
: Opening ZipFile("UTP13.zip", "w") creates a new, empty ZIP file.
: When zipping entire directories, use os.path.relpath to ensure the ZIP doesn't recreate your entire hard drive's folder structure inside the archive.
: ZIP archives provide basic integrity checks; however, for sensitive data, you might consider encryption or password protection , though the standard Python zipfile module only supports basic decryption and cannot currently create encrypted archives.
