(CkPython) Set Entry Filepath (in output Zip) when Zipping

Demonstrates how to set the path for the file entry within the .zip to something different than the path in the filesystem.

# When an absolute filepath is passed to AppendOneFileOrDir, the path within the .zip
# will be one of two values:  (1) just the filename part if saveExtraPath is False,
# or (2) the full absolute path, but made relative, if saveExtraPath is True.
# (For example, "c:/ck2000/appData/UnitTest/qa_data/hamlet.xml" made relative is 
# "ck2000/appData/UnitTest/qa_data/hamlet.xml")
saveExtraPath = False
success = zip.AppendOneFileOrDir("c:/ck2000/appData/UnitTest/qa_data/hamlet.xml",saveExtraPath)
if (success != True):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# When a relative path is passed to AppendOneFileOrDir, then saveExtraPath does not apply.
# For example, assume our current working directory is "c:/ck2000/appData/UnitTest".  The following
# call to AppendOneFileOrDir creates an entry with the filepath "qa_data/hamlet.xml".
success = zip.AppendOneFileOrDir("qa_data/hamlet.xml",saveExtraPath)
if (success != True):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Examine the entries
numEntries = zip.get_NumEntries()
i = 0
while i < numEntries :
    # e is a CkZipEntry
    e = zip.GetEntryByIndex(i)
    print(str(i) + ": " + e.fileName())

    i = i + 1

# The output so far is:

# 	0: hamlet.xml
# 	1: qa_data/hamlet.xml

# If we write the .zip as-is, then the zip will have two entries
# with the filepaths as shown above.

# This writes "qa_output/zipA.zip"
success = zip.WriteZip()

# Now change the entry filepaths to whatever is desired.
# entry is a CkZipEntry

# Change the name of the .zip to be written and write again:
