I am reading a list of pdf files from a directory which is a symbolic link and adding them to a zip file.
Issue I have is that the zip files are being added as empty directories rather than the actual pdf files. My code is below. Any idea why this happening? # ZIP pdfs subdirectory if it exists sourcefile = self._dir + os.sep + "pdfs" targetname = "pdfs" if os.path.exists(sourcefile): zf.write(sourcefile,targetname, compress_type=compression) for file in os.listdir(sourcefile): targetname = "pdfs" + os.sep + file zf.write(sourcefile,targetname, compress_type=compression) # Close zip file zf.close() -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
