I'm trying to compress a folder with all files inside it but I get the compressed file empty Im using this code

import os
import zipfile

def zipdir(path, ziph):
    # ziph is zipfile handle
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
        for file in files:
            ziph.write(os.path.join(root, file))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    zipf = zipfile.ZipFile('Python.zip', 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
    zipdir('tmp/', zipf)
    zipf.close()

I believe the problem is you're sending a relative path, try using the absolute path. – subzero May 27 '20 at 17:08
