Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip. CkPython

import chilkat

success = False

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

zip = chilkat.CkZip()

# Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
success = zip.NewZip("myZip.zip")

# Add references to files:
recurse = True
success = zip.AppendFiles("c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1\\*",recurse)

# Assuming that the file c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif exists,
# the .zip will contain "dude.gif" without any path information.

# The component has no
# choice but to use "c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1" as the root.
# It's not possible for the component to know if you
# wanted subdir1\ or a\subdir1\ or temp\a\subdir1
# paths prefixed for each file added.

# To control the path within the zip, set the AppendFromDir
# directory and then use a relative path in AppendFiles.
# For example:
zip.put_AppendFromDir("c:\\temp\\a")

success = zip.AppendFiles("subdir1\\*",recurse)

# This causes c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif to be added as
# "subdir1\dude.gif" within the .zip.

# If you need the path within the .zip to be "a\subdir", then
# do this:
zip.put_AppendFromDir("c:\\temp")
success = zip.AppendFiles("a\\subdir1\\*",recurse)

success = zip.WriteZipAndClose()
