[Tutor] Zipping files and Mysql

[gagnrath]

I am trying to write a script that will dump a mysql db and then zip the file.


I do know about mysqldb, but I was wondering if there is anything native to the 
libraries that will allow me to do this without using a seperate piece.   Then 
after I gather the DBs, I need to zip them.   I wrote the following, but wanted 
to know if I am heading in the correct direction.

zipfile.zipfile(/myfiles/my_db/, w, zip_stored)

First time trying to use it, so I don't expect it to work.   Got to see if I 
have a file i don't mind playing around with to see if I can zip it up using 
the zipfile.

As for the MySQL, I think I may have to resign myself to using an alternate 
method than the straight python libraries.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm using the zipfile module as well in one 
of my projects to make a backup of the user's configuration directory. 
Which works pretty good.

Do have a good look though at the documentation or find some examples 
through your search engine, because the above line won't work at all.

Cheers,
Timo

[Tutor] Copying Files

[gagnrath]

I was using glob and shutil to copy logs from one location to another 
successfully, however, I have run into a snag when trying to copy a directory.  
 Not sure how to fix this.

Current Code is as follows:


for file in glob.glob("/drbd1/monitorcenter/Apps/WEB-INF/*"):   #This line is 
holding up the script due to copying a directory and not a single file
shutil.copy(file, path_2_b_2)

Any ideas?
