How to compress with 7zip instead of zip, code changing

Question

I have a code that compress every file in a specific folder with zip but I want to compress it with 7zip, so how to do ?

This is what I have so far:

for date in dict_date:#zipping folders and get same name like the folder
    with ZipFile(os.path.join(src, '{0}.7z'.format(date)), 'w') as myzip:
        for subFolder in dict_date[date]:
            for fil in os.listdir(os.path.join(src, date, subFolder)):
                if not fil.endswith('.7z'):
                    myzip.write(os.path.join(src, date, subFolder, fil))

Answer 1

You can try the command line method

import subprocess
subprocess.call(['7z', 'a', filename+'.7z', filename])

or for all files in folder

subprocess.call(['7z', 'a', filename+'.7z', "*.*"])
