Hi There.
I'm very new to python, and I have been using the TurboGears Framework
to use python to power my application.
I have a class which handles the upload of a file to a directory called
"uploads", which is hosted on a server.
my problems is that when I want to download that file from the server I
want to zip the files selected. but how does a user specify where they
want to save that file?.
I the user will be selecting the files they want to download and I want
to zip those files and let the user save it.
I want to know how to let the user specify where to save the zipped
files.
Any ideas?..any python to help me do this?? i know i can use the
zipfile module but I can't figure out the part about letting the user
decide.
Thank you
Stephen Sandhu

Usually the browser asks the user for a target directory. So that's not
your business.
After the user selected the files you have to zip them on the server, for
instance in a temporary in the `/tmp/` directory and then deliver that
archive to the user.

THanks Marc,
That makes sense. I can zip the files to a temp directory. However,
How do I deliver the archive to them?...

Like you deliver any other content in a cgi (assuming you are using a cgi):
By printing in on standard output.
I don't know "TurboGears " though.

Does .Net provide libraries for zipping files? I read that a third party

This will probably sound like a very dumb question.
I am trying to zip some files within a directory.
I want to zip all the files within a directory called "temp"
and have the zip archive saved in a directory with temp called ziptemp
I was trying to read up on how to use the zipfile module python
provides, but I cannot seem to find adequate documentation on function
itself.

I've installed Python 2.5 on MSW and it works. I'm preparing it to run
from a thumb drive so I can run applications by dropping them onto the

large. I've compressed most of the executables with UPX even the dlls

'lib' directory into a python.zip instead so save some space, and do I
need the 'test'...
