stream-zip

PyPI version Tests Test Coverage

Python function to construct a ZIP archive on the fly - without having to store the entire ZIP in memory or disk. This is useful in memory-constrained environments, or when you would like to start returning compressed data before you've even retrieved all the uncompressed data. Generating ZIPs on-demand in a web server is a typical use case for stream-zip.

Offers similar functionality to zipfly, but with a different API, and does not use Python's zipfile module under the hood. Creates both Zip32/2.0/Legacy and Zip64 files.

To unZIP files on the fly try stream-unzip.
