First time trying to use it, so I don't expect it to work. Got to see if I have a file i don't mind playing around with to see if I can zip it up using the zipfile.
As for the MySQL, I think I may have to resign myself to using an alternate method than the straight python libraries.

Which works pretty good. Do have a good look though at the documentation or find some examples through your search engine, because the above line won't work at all.
