Hello,
Ok. Long story short.

What am I REALLY asking for?????????
What I'm really asking for is for someone to provide a simple script
that accomplishes the goal above. """But Why"""" To Study....really
""""Important part of this email""""
The important part of my email isn't to have a Python script compress a
directory for me..NO...NO....NO I can do that with Tar or Bzip from the
command line very easy.
The important part is to look at """"How"""" a Python script could be
written so that I can """"reference"""" the steps taken and research
the Python documentation at each step of the way through the script.
Im sure there are probably more than a few ways to accomplish my
compression goal with a Python script. All I'm looking for is an
example that I can reference. Again, the important part isn't file or
directory compression with Python...... but the """steps""" taken. An
example of """"""How"""""".
Am I asking for a simple example. Nothing more than that.
Thanks,
Joshua Banks
