Question

I have a similar problem to a question over here with the following code:

import zipfile

report_zip = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\report.zip"
report = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\report.json"

json_zip = zipfile.ZipFile(report_zip, "w")
try:
    json_zip.write(report)
finally:
    json_zip.close()

The result of the code is as such:

report.zip
 --Users
   --user
     --Desktop
       --report.json

Whereas what I want is:

report.zip
 --report.json

How should I modify my current implementation to achieve this? Or is there a better implementation? Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Pass the arcname parameter to ZipFile.write().
