Buzon - ZipFly

ZipFly is a zip archive generator based on zipfile.py. It was created by Buzon.io to generate very large ZIP archives for immediate sending out to clients, or for writing large ZIP archives without memory inflation.

Requirements

Python 3.6+

Install

pip3 install zipfly

Basic usage, compress on-the-fly during writes

Using this library will save you from having to write the Zip to disk. Some data will be buffered by the zipfile deflater, but memory inflation is going to be very constrained. Data will be written to destination by default at regular 32KB intervals.

ZipFly defaults attributes:

  • paths: [ ]
  • mode: (write) w
  • chunksize: (bytes) 32768
  • compression: Stored
  • allowZip64: True
  • compresslevel: None
  • storesize: (bytes) 0
  • encode: utf-8

paths list of dictionaries:

.
fs Should be the path to a file on the filesystem
n (Optional) Is the name which it will have within the archive
(by default, this will be the same as fs)

    import zipfly

    paths = [
        {
            'fs': '/path/to/large/file'
        },
    ]

    zfly = zipfly.ZipFly(paths = paths)

    generator = zfly.generator()
    print (generator)
    # 
   


    with open("large.zip", "wb") as f:
        for i in generator:
            f.write(i)

Examples

Streaming multiple files in a zip with Django or Flask Send forth large files to clients with the most popular frameworks

Create paths Easy way to create the array paths from a parent folder.

Predict the size of the zip file before creating it Use the BufferPredictionSize to compute the correct size of the resulting archive before creating it.

Streaming a large file Efficient way to read a single very large binary file in python

  • Cannot include empty folders

    Cannot include empty folders

    Python's zipfile module supports writing empty folders to zip archive.

    when trying with zipfly i get:

    File "/.../zipfly.py", line 211, in generator
        with open( path[self.filesystem], 'rb' ) as e:
    IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/path/to/dir'
    

    Is there an undocumented way for writing empty folders?

  • Is compression possible?

    Is compression possible?

    Hi,

    I see that only uncompressed ZIP files are can be created with zipfly. What is the reason for that? I don't see any compression level specific code in ZipFly.generator, except file size estimation (which doesn't work for ZIP64 achives).

    So, is compression just an unimplemented feature? Or are there any aspects which don't allow using compression for streaming made this way?

    I understand that compression is often useless in streaming scenarios but it's not true in our case. We're looking for a replacement for zipstream-new which seems to be dead. ZipFly looks nice for us...

    Release master branch to pypi

    It looks like the last version on PyPI has been published 2 years ago and there have been many changes in the code since.

    It would be helpful if you could release the latest changes.

    PS since the project is already using GH action for testing, it may be helpful to set up GH actions for release as well.

  • Stream into stream

    Stream into stream

    Hi, thank you for the inspirational code.

    I'm wondering if it's possible to adapt your code and make it compatible with S3 storage.

    I use django-storages and boto3 client returns a streaming body (already open fp) and all metadata.

    I need a zipfile (or any other archive) to be created from the set of files during the GET request (not great but it has to be).

    So to save the memory I have 2 options.

    1. Use zipfly as is and download files into a temporary location (and remove it after the operation)
    2. Or better solution that doesn't require intermediate storage so I could pipe the content of streaming body into zipfly and return that as a streaming response.

    streaming body (many of them) -> zipfly(zip file) -> streaming response

    Do you think that option two is possible? If so, could you please point out what pieces of code I should focus on to adapt zipfly?

    Thank you

  • Add functionality to provide file streams and zip them on the fly

    Add functionality to provide file streams and zip them on the fly

    It is a common use case to store large files remotely and not next to the code. See e.g. for django https://github.com/jschneier/django-storages. If many (large) files must be shipped synchronuosly as a zip file, it saves memory and storage to pass them through the web worker as a stream without saving anything to disk. To archive that, file buffers as input may be supported.

    I would appreciate if we could add this functionality. This pull request contains a tested initial attempt. Feel free to improve!

    This pull request is based on https://github.com/BuzonIO/zipfly/pull/75 and https://github.com/BuzonIO/zipfly/pull/76
