Using PythonWin 2.7.10, I would like to append a date to a bunch of zipfiles in a folder. I've been using the time module which prints the current month, day and year. But, I'm not sure how to append this date to the end of my zipfiles' file name. In this case I've been running tests on the WillCounty_PLSS.zip file, which contains a shapefile.
This script seems to work, but it creates an odd looking file with no content:
import time
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
ws = arcpy.env.workspace = r'\\gisfile\GISstaff\Jared'
current_time = time.strftime("%m%d%Y")
output_name = "WillCounty_PLSS.zip" + current_time
output_file = open(ws + output_name, "w")
print current_time
Here's how the file was named: JaredWillCounty_PLSS.zip02072018
EDIT: What do I need to do to have the look like this: WillCounty_PLSS_02072018.zip?
