How can I zip texts and images?

PythonCoderByPythonCoder

Hello!

I'm currently writing a Python script in which I have some text (as a string, not as a file) and images (as bytes, again not as a file), and I want to zip them all together. I know how to zip saved files using the Zipfile module. But I haven't saved the files; I've only saved them as strings or bytes objects.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this without temporarily saving the files? That would be a huge help!

Thank you in advance!

This goes directly with the built-in zipfile:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/zipfile.html#zipfile.ZipFile.open

Example:

import zipfile

with zipfile.ZipFile('bla.zip', mode='w') as zip:
  with zip.open('test.txt', mode='w') as myfile:
    myfile.write(bytes('hello, world', 'utf-8'))

Oh, then I didn’t really understand .write. I thought this can only pack files stored in the Zip File. Thank you.
