following the excellent suggestions received, i tried to adapt the
problem to zipfile, and i wrote this:
$ cat zip001.py
import sys
import zipfile
import StringIO
nb1 = "first.txt", StringIO.StringIO("one one\n")
nb2 = "second.txt", StringIO.StringIO("two\n")
zb = StringIO.StringIO()
zip = zipfile.ZipFile(zb , "w" , zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
for name , buffer in [nb1 , nb2]:
zip.writestr(name, buffer.getvalue()*1000)
zip.close()
sys.stdout.write(zb.getvalue())
$ python zip001.py > zip001.out
$ unzip -l zip001.out
Archive: zip001.out
