[Tutor] Zipping files and Mysql

[gagnrath at verizon.net]

First time trying to use it, so I don't expect it to work.   Got to see if I have a file i don't mind playing around with to see if I can zip it up using the zipfile.

As for the MySQL, I think I may have to resign myself to using an alternate method than the straight python libraries.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm using the zipfile module as well in one 
of my projects to make a backup of the user's configuration directory. 
Which works pretty good.

Do have a good look though at the documentation or find some examples 
through your search engine, because the above line won't work at all.

Cheers,
Timo
