In a python web application, I'm packaging up some stuff in a zip-file. I want to do this completely on the fly, in memory, without touching the disk. This goes fine using ZipFile.writestr as long as I'm creating a flat directory structure, but how do I create directories inside the zip?
I'm using python2.4.

Right-click on the file or folder.Select “Compressed (zipped) folder”. To place multiple files into a zip folder, select all of the files while hitting the Ctrl button. Then, right-click on one of the files, move your cursor over the “Send to” option and select “Compressed (zipped) folder”.
To select non-consecutive files or folders, hold down the Ctrl key as you select the individual files and/or folders. 2. Right-click on the file or folder (or group of files or folders), then point to Send to and select Compressed (zipped) folder. 3.
The easiest way to zip a folder on Linux is to use the “zip” command with the “-r” option and specify the file of your archive as well as the folders to be added to your zip file. You can also specify multiple folders if you want to have multiple directories compressed in your zip file.
1) Locate the place you want to create a ZIP File. Right-click on the blank space. Then click New > Compressed(zipped) Folder. 2) Now a new blank ZIP File is created, you can rename it and add the file or folder you want to compress into it by easy copy-paste.
What 'theomega' said in the comment to my original post, adding a '/' in the filename does the trick. Thanks!
from zipfile import ZipFile
from StringIO import StringIO
inMemoryOutputFile = StringIO()
zipFile = ZipFile(inMemoryOutputFile, 'w')
zipFile.writestr('OEBPS/content.xhtml', 'hello world')
zipFile.close()
inMemoryOutputFile.seek(0)
Use a StringIO. It is apparently OK to use them for zipfiles.
