Hi I am a python novice and I am trying to write a python script (most of the code is borrowed) to Zip a directory containing some other directories and files. The script zips all the files fine but when it tries to zip one of the directories it fails with the following error: "IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'c:\\aaa\\temp'"
The script I am using is: import zipfile, os def toZip( directory, zipFile ): """Sample for storing directory to a ZipFile""" z = zipfile.ZipFile( zipFile, 'w', compression=zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED ) def walker( zip, directory, files, root=directory ): for file in files: file = os.path.join( directory, file ) # yes, the +1 is hacky... archiveName = file[len(os.path.commonprefix( (root, file) ))+1:] zip.write( file, archiveName, zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED ) print file os.path.walk( directory, walker, z ) z.close() return zipFile if __name__ == "__main__": toZip( 'c:\\aaa', 'c:\\aaa\\test.zip' ) I have tried to set the permissions on the folder, but when I check the directory permissions it is set back to "Read Only" Any suggestions?
