Adding extra files to a zip?

JemmaWindow — Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:46:17 GMT

So I got this fantastic script from: Script for Making Individual Zip file for Each Shapefile? but I required some extra files to be added to each of the individual zips, e.g. 2 pdfs: one with metadata and another for terms and conditions.

import arcgisscripting, os, glob, zipfile, shutil

from os import path as p

# Create the Geoprocessor object

gp = arcgisscripting.create()

# arcpy.overwriteOutput = True

gp.overwriteoutput=1

def ZipShapes(path, out_path):

gp.workspace = path

shapes = gp.ListFeatureClasses("*")

# iterate through list of shapefile

for shape in iter(shapes.next, None):

name = p.splitext(shape)[0]

print name

zip_path = p.join(out_path, name + '.zip')

zip = zipfile.ZipFile(zip_path, 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)

os.chdir(path)

for files in glob.glob('%s.*' %name):

zip.write(p.join(path,files), files)

print 'All files written to %s' %zip_path

# copy pdf files to zip folder

for f in pdfList:

shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(path),f), os.path.join(path,f))

zip.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':

path = r'S:\Species\MARINEFISH'

outpath = r'S:\Species\MARINEFISH\ZIPS'

pdfList =["Terms & Conditions of Use.pdf", "METADATA.pdf"]

ZipShapes(path, outpath)

I keep getting the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "S:\scripts\Python\Zipping_Shapefiles", line 34, in <module>

ZipShapes(path, outpath)

File "S:\scripts\Python\Zipping_Shapefiles", line 25, in ZipShapes

shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(path),f), os.path.join(path,f))

File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.3\lib\shutil.py", line 82, in copyfile

with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'S:\\Species\\METADATA.pdf'

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you already look at the obvious issue of 'S:\\Species\\METADATA.pdf' not actually existing? Where is the metadata file located?

Also it looks like you are trying to copy your pdfs to the wrong place? os.path.join(path,f) would attempt to copy the pdfs to 'S:\Species\MARINEFISH\ [PDFName]'

Assuming this is your own data that you are trying to .zip, and the script is one you received from someone else.....do you even have a "term of use" and "metadata" file created? It is good to have these items before you distribute data, as a general business practice, but if you don't you can either created the files now, or comment out that line. but I would suggest at least writing up minimal terms and metadata and saving as PDF in the path shown.

btw...I'm assuming your data is in the same location.
