# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

zip = chilkat2.Zip()

zipPath = "c:/temp/test.zip"

# Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
zip.NewZip(zipPath)

# AppendNewDir is used when you wish to add a directory to the zip
# such that when the zip is unzipped, the directory will be created
# even if it contains no files.

# entry is a CkZipEntry
entry = zip.AppendNewDir("dirA")

# entry is a CkZipEntry
entry = zip.AppendNewDir("dirB")

# entry is a CkZipEntry
entry = zip.AppendNewDir("dirC")

# Write the zip, which contains 3 empty directories: dirA, dirB, dirC.
zip.FileName = zipPath
success = zip.WriteZipAndClose()
if (success == False):
    print(zip.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print("Success.")
