zip a huge file into multiple small ones

[krishna chaitanya]

I am new to dealing with zip files in python.
I have a huge file which i need to zip and send as an attachment through
email.
My email restrictions are not allowing me to send it in one go.
Is there a way to split this file into multiple zip files, so that i can
mail them separately.
All the individual zip files should be linked.
I should be able to extract the original file by extracting the first of the
small zip files.
