Date & time in a Zip File

Tim Williams (gmail)

Using zipfile.Zipfile

How can I add a file to a zip file and keep its date and time correct?
Currently the date/time change to the time the file was added to the
zip. Zipinfo doesn't have a write method!

Solutions other than zipfile are welcome, with snippets if possible :)

When I add files to my .ZIP files using python zipfile module
the date/time that is stored in mine is the one that comes from
the file's attributes. I'm not sure I understand why you think
yours are not.

I am working some new code for zipfile. If you are interested in a
partial step towards what you want, at the cost of having to read
and/or use a bunch of half-done code, grab a copy of:

http://members.dsl-only.net/~daniels/zipf.py

You should then be able to do something like:

import zipf
z = zipf.ZipFile('w hatever.zip', 'a')

and then copy the code for .write(...)
using your own zinfo block. I imagine I'll eventually have a method
like that named ".write_info(zi nfo, data_iterator)" or something.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
