[Tutor] Zipping files and Mysql

[gagnrath at verizon.net]

I am trying to write a script that will dump a mysql db and then zip the file.


I do know about mysqldb, but I was wondering if there is anything native to the libraries that will allow me to do this without using a seperate piece.   Then after I gather the DBs, I need to zip them.   I wrote the following, but wanted to know if I am heading in the correct direction.

zipfile.zipfile(/myfiles/my_db/, w, zip_stored)
