Does window os have a zip command for python like linux and unix.<br>
If yes, please what is it.<br>
If no, please what does it use to create a zip folder.<br>
I am working on an example in byte of python but the zip command is from linux but I use windows.<br>
Thank you.<br></blockquote></div><br>Windows does not have a command line wrapper for it's zipped folders functionality (which as you probably know should more properly be called zip files as that's what they are, notwithstanding the fact that Windows Explorer makes them look like folders in the UI.) Several third party command line versions exist however, including proprietary ones like Winzip and open source ones. (Google yielded for example this: <a href="http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-103518.php">http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-103518.php</a> )<br>
<br>However, you should perhaps have a look at Python's "zipfile" module which should be able to create zip files as well. See e.g. <a href="http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/module-zipfile.html">http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/module-zipfile.html</a><br>
