create a lzma file in python

i need to create a lzma file with the existing .tar file and another metadata 开发者_如何学运维file to further create a zip file.

first download/install PyLZMA. In your program, use it as described here. And to create a zip, you can use the zipFile-module of the standard-library, which works as follows:

# open the zip file for writing, and write stuff to it

file = zipfile.ZipFile("test.zip", "w")

for name in a_demo_list_of_files:
    file.write(name, os.path.basename(name), zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)

file.close()

Hope it helps!

if you can use python 3.3 and later, you could use the built-in lzma module
