Hi, I have a problem about zipfile.
I'm trying to add files from local file system into a zip file via zipfile
module of python.. I have a function in my class which recursively adds files
or dirs into zip:
-------8<-------------------8<--------------------8<------------------8<-----
def add_file(self, fileName):
"""add file or directory to a zip file"""
if os.path.isdir(fileName):
self.zip.writestr(fileName + '/', '')
for f in os.listdir(fileName):
self.add_file(fileName + '/' + f)
else:
if os.path.islink(fileName):
dest = os.readlink(fileName)
self.zip.writestr(fileName, dest)
#do something here to set 'fileName's attributes
#to write it as a symlink into the zip
else:
self.zip.write(fileName, fileName, zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
------->8------------------->8-------------------->8------------------>8-----
But here is a problem raising for symlinks (at the commented section of the
code passage).. If i don't perform any special process for symlinks in the
function, function produces zip files without symlinks, naturally; symlinks
become regular files with the 'dest' content.. I have to set the attribute of
the symlinks in the zip to make them a real symlink for the 'dest', how can i
do that?
Any help or idea would be great..
Best regards,
