此函数将递归地压缩目录树，压缩文件，并在存档中记录正确的相对文件名。存档条目与zip-r output.zip source_dir生成的条目相同。

import os
import zipfile
def make_zipfile(output_filename, source_dir):
    relroot = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(source_dir, os.pardir))
    with zipfile.ZipFile(output_filename, "w", zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) as zip:
        for root, dirs, files in os.walk(source_dir):
            # add directory (needed for empty dirs)
            zip.write(root, os.path.relpath(root, relroot))
            for file in files:
                filename = os.path.join(root, file)
                if os.path.isfile(filename): # regular files only
                    arcname = os.path.join(os.path.relpath(root, relroot), file)
                    zip.write(filename, arcname)

要将mydirectory的内容添加到新的zip文件中，包括所有文件和子目录：

import os
import zipfile

zf = zipfile.ZipFile("myzipfile.zip", "w")
for dirname, subdirs, files in os.walk("mydirectory"):
    zf.write(dirname)
    for filename in files:
        zf.write(os.path.join(dirname, filename))
zf.close()

显而易见的方法是使用shutil，就像第二个顶级答案所说的那样，但如果出于某种原因，您仍然希望使用ZipFile，并且如果您在执行此操作时遇到一些问题（如Windows等中的ERR 13），您可以使用此修复程序：

import os
import zipfile

def retrieve_file_paths(dirName):
  filePaths = []
  for root, directories, files in os.walk(dirName):
    for filename in files:
        filePath = os.path.join(root, filename)
        filePaths.append(filePath)
  return filePaths
 
def main(dir_name, output_filename):
  filePaths = retrieve_file_paths(dir_name)
   
  zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(output_filename+'.zip', 'w')
  with zip_file:
    for file in filePaths:
      zip_file.write(file)

main("my_dir", "my_dir_archived")

该方法递归地遍历给定文件夹中的每个子文件夹/文件，并将它们写入zip文件，而不是尝试直接压缩文件夹。

此函数将递归地压缩目录树，压缩文件，并在存档中记录正确的相对文件名。存档条目与zip-r output.zip source_dir生成的条目相同。

import os
import zipfile
def make_zipfile(output_filename, source_dir):
    relroot = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(source_dir, os.pardir))
    with zipfile.ZipFile(output_filename, "w", zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) as zip:
        for root, dirs, files in os.walk(source_dir):
            # add directory (needed for empty dirs)
            zip.write(root, os.path.relpath(root, relroot))
            for file in files:
                filename = os.path.join(root, file)
                if os.path.isfile(filename): # regular files only
                    arcname = os.path.join(os.path.relpath(root, relroot), file)
                    zip.write(filename, arcname)

我通过将Mark Byers的解决方案与Reimund和Morten Zilmer的评论（相对路径和包括空目录）合并，准备了一个函数。作为最佳实践，在ZipFile的文件构造中使用。

该函数还准备一个带有压缩目录名和“.zip”扩展名的默认zip文件名。因此，它只使用一个参数：要压缩的源目录。

import os
import zipfile

def zip_dir(path_dir, path_file_zip=''):
if not path_file_zip:
    path_file_zip = os.path.join(
        os.path.dirname(path_dir), os.path.basename(path_dir)+'.zip')
with zipfile.ZipFile(path_file_zip, 'wb', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) as zip_file:
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path_dir):
        for file_or_dir in files + dirs:
            zip_file.write(
                os.path.join(root, file_or_dir),
                os.path.relpath(os.path.join(root, file_or_dir),
                                os.path.join(path_dir, os.path.pardir)))

函数创建zip文件。

def CREATEZIPFILE(zipname, path):
    #function to create a zip file
    #Parameters: zipname - name of the zip file; path - name of folder/file to be put in zip file

    zipf = zipfile.ZipFile(zipname, 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)
    zipf.setpassword(b"password") #if you want to set password to zipfile

    #checks if the path is file or directory
    if os.path.isdir(path):
        for files in os.listdir(path):
            zipf.write(os.path.join(path, files), files)

    elif os.path.isfile(path):
        zipf.write(os.path.join(path), path)
    zipf.close()
