Sometimes we need to create a zip file in memory and save to disk or send to AWS or wherever we need to save it. Below is basic steps to do this.
from zipfile import ZipFile
from io import BytesIO
in_memory = BytesIO()
zf = ZipFile(in_memory, mode="w")
#If you have data in text format that you want to save into the zip as a file
zf.writestr("name", file_data)
#Close the zip file
zf.close()
#Go to beginning
in_memory.seek(0)
#read the data
data = in_memory.read()
#You can save it to disk
with open('file_name.zip','wb') as out:
out.write(data)
