I am working on a project that requires programmatically distributing a compressed file that in a format that is associated with my software. I am writing the software in Python.
I would use .zip, but I don’t want to overwrite any previouse filetype associations. ( with zip utilities )
You could create new file extension other than .zip and associate that file extension with your program.
