ASPPY.zip

The ASPPY.zip namespace provides simple methods to compress and extract files and folders natively using Python's zipfile module.

Methods

Method	Description
`Zip(path, [out_path])`	Zips a file or folder located at physical `path`. If `out_path` is not provided, it defaults to `path + ".zip"`. Returns the absolute path to the generated zip file.
`Unzip(zip_path, dest_folder, [overwrite])`	Extracts the archive `zip_path` into `dest_folder`. `overwrite` defaults to True. Returns the absolute path to the destination folder.

Sample Code

<%
Dim outZip, extractDir

' 1. Zipping a folder (Server.MapPath translates virtual paths to physical paths)
outZip = ASPPY.zip.Zip(Server.MapPath("/data/reports"), Server.MapPath("/data/reports.zip"))
Response.Write "Zipped to: " & outZip & "<br>"

' 2. Unzipping an archive
extractDir = ASPPY.zip.Unzip(Server.MapPath("/data/reports.zip"), Server.MapPath("/data/extracted"), True)
Response.Write "Extracted to: " & extractDir & "<br>"
%>

Security Note: ASPPY protects against Zip Slip vulnerabilities by preventing path traversal when extracting archives.
