The others are right, this has been asked.

However, basically you should be able to se

You can use the Python module 'zipfile' to generate the actual archive, but you mentioned you have the zipfile already?

from django.http import HttpResponse
...
    response = HttpResponse(wrapper, content_type='application/zip')
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=your_zipfile.zip'
    return response

You'll need to add stuff to the above - perhaps some more info on where this file is coming from, or how you're generating it? But the above should get you started.

Sending file attachments in responses is covered in the documentation.

Two things specific to your case that the docs don't mention:

1. You need to pass the file data as the first argument to HttpResponse() (my_data in the example).
2. You need the proper mimetype (application/zip).
