Meet ziptools - all the features that you miss most in
Python's zipfile module. ziptools is both top-level
scripts and importable modules that extend the standard
library's zipfile module for:
Folders:
it adds entire folder trees to zipfiles automatically
Modtimes:
it propagates original modtimes for files, folders, and links
Cruft skips:
it can either include or skip system "cruft" files on request
Symlinks:
it copies or follows symlinks to files and dirs on Unix and Windows
Long paths:
it supports long pathnames on Windows beyond its normal limits
