zipgen 0.1.6

A zip file generator.

zipgen

Zipgen is a simple and performant cross-platform zip archive generator for Python 3.7 and later. It supports ZIP64, uncompressed and various compression formats such as: Deflated, Bzip and LZMA.

Zipgen supports synchronous asynchronous generation. Zipgen can zip archives from stream objects such as FileIO, BytesIO, generators and asynchronous StreamReader.

Zipgen also supports recursive creation of zip archives from existing folders. Synchronously or asynchronously.

Zip archives can be created using the ZipBuilder and ZipStreamWriter classes. ZipBuilder provides methods that return byte generators.

The ZipStreamWriter class can be used to write directly to streams and to asynchronous streams, which provide a wait drain() method, such as asyncio.StreamWriter. ZipStreamWriter uses ZipBuilder internally providing all of the same methods.

---

Install

python -m pip install zipgen

---

Command

Zipgen can also be used as a command:

python -m zipgen dest.zip file1.txt file2.py ./folder/images

python -m zipgen dest.zip . --comp 8 --comment "working directory deflate compressed"

python -m zipgen - project/src --dest-stdout > src.zip

The command supports adding several files or folders at once recursively with various or compressions or without any compression. It also supports verbose logging that can be disabled.

Command args

• dest
  • Destination file. Always first argument.
• --dest-stdout
  • Sets dest output to stdout. The first argument dest will be ignored.
• --path
  • Internal dest folder in zip.
• --no-ipf
  • Do not include parent folder for directories.
• --comment
  • Comment of the zip file.
• --buf
  • Read buffer size.
• --comp
  • Compression format. 0 = STORED, 8 = DEFLATED, 12 = BZIP2 and 14 = LZMA.
• -q
  • Sets verbose mode off.
