When I saw "Permission denied", this was my suspicion. And I think you

Would I be right in guessing there is no way around this?
Well, you could (presumably) alter your own user's
groups / rights and/or the permissions on the root
of the C: drive so that you *can* zip to that location.
On the other hand, chucking random stuff into the
root of the system drive has never been considered
a brilliant idea. (Altho' I know a lot of people
who do it :) ). Why not create a suitable folder
lower down, or in your own %APPDATA% area, or using
the tempfile module, depending on your needs?
