使用shutil，它是python标准库集的一部分。使用shutil非常简单（参见下面的代码）：

第一个参数：结果zip/tar文件的文件名，第二个参数：zip/tar，第三个参数：目录名

代码：

import shutil
shutil.make_archive('/home/user/Desktop/Filename','zip','/home/username/Desktop/Directory')

使用pathlib.Path的解决方案，它独立于所使用的操作系统：

import zipfile
from pathlib import Path

def zip_dir(path: Path, zip_file_path: Path):
    """Zip all contents of path to zip_file"""
    files_to_zip = [
        file for file in path.glob('*') if file.is_file()]
    with zipfile.ZipFile(
        zip_file_path, 'w', zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) as zip_f:
        for file in files_to_zip:
            print(file.name)
            zip_f.write(file, file.name)

current_dir = Path.cwd()  
zip_dir = current_dir / "test"
tools.zip_dir(
    zip_dir, current_dir / 'Zipped_dir.zip')

试试下面的一个。它对我有用。

import zipfile, os
zipf = "compress.zip"  
def main():
    directory = r"Filepath"
    toZip(directory)
def toZip(directory):
    zippedHelp = zipfile.ZipFile(zipf, "w", compression=zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED )

    list = os.listdir(directory)
    for file_list in list:
        file_name = os.path.join(directory,file_list)

        if os.path.isfile(file_name):
            print file_name
            zippedHelp.write(file_name)
        else:
            addFolderToZip(zippedHelp,file_list,directory)
            print "---------------Directory Found-----------------------"
    zippedHelp.close()

def addFolderToZip(zippedHelp,folder,directory):
    path=os.path.join(directory,folder)
    print path
    file_list=os.listdir(path)
    for file_name in file_list:
        file_path=os.path.join(path,file_name)
        if os.path.isfile(file_path):
            zippedHelp.write(file_path)
        elif os.path.isdir(file_name):
            print "------------------sub directory found--------------------"
            addFolderToZip(zippedHelp,file_name,path)


if __name__=="__main__":
    main()

您可能想看看zipfile模块；文档位于http://docs.python.org/library/zipfile.html.

您可能还需要os.walk（）来索引目录结构。

要提供更大的灵活性，例如按名称选择目录/文件，请使用：

import os
import zipfile

def zipall(ob, path, rel=""):
    basename = os.path.basename(path)
    if os.path.isdir(path):
        if rel == "":
            rel = basename
        ob.write(path, os.path.join(rel))
        for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
            for d in dirs:
                zipall(ob, os.path.join(root, d), os.path.join(rel, d))
            for f in files:
                ob.write(os.path.join(root, f), os.path.join(rel, f))
            break
    elif os.path.isfile(path):
        ob.write(path, os.path.join(rel, basename))
    else:
        pass

对于文件树：

.
├── dir
│   ├── dir2
│   │   └── file2.txt
│   ├── dir3
│   │   └── file3.txt
│   └── file.txt
├── dir4
│   ├── dir5
│   └── file4.txt
├── listdir.zip
├── main.py
├── root.txt
└── selective.zip

例如，您可以只选择dir4和root.txt：

cwd = os.getcwd()
files = [os.path.join(cwd, f) for f in ['dir4', 'root.txt']]

with zipfile.ZipFile("selective.zip", "w" ) as myzip:
    for f in files:
        zipall(myzip, f)

或者只需在脚本调用目录中列出目录，然后从中添加所有内容：

with zipfile.ZipFile("listdir.zip", "w" ) as myzip:
    for f in os.listdir():
        if f == "listdir.zip":
            # Creating a listdir.zip in the same directory
            # will include listdir.zip inside itself, beware of this
            continue
        zipall(myzip, f)

我还有另一个代码示例可能会有所帮助，使用python3、pathlib和zipfile。它应该可以在任何操作系统中工作。

from pathlib import Path
import zipfile
from datetime import datetime

DATE_FORMAT = '%y%m%d'


def date_str():
    """returns the today string year, month, day"""
    return '{}'.format(datetime.now().strftime(DATE_FORMAT))


def zip_name(path):
    """returns the zip filename as string"""
    cur_dir = Path(path).resolve()
    parent_dir = cur_dir.parents[0]
    zip_filename = '{}/{}_{}.zip'.format(parent_dir, cur_dir.name, date_str())
    p_zip = Path(zip_filename)
    n = 1
    while p_zip.exists():
        zip_filename = ('{}/{}_{}_{}.zip'.format(parent_dir, cur_dir.name,
                                             date_str(), n))
        p_zip = Path(zip_filename)
        n += 1
    return zip_filename


def all_files(path):
    """iterator returns all files and folders from path as absolute path string
    """
    for child in Path(path).iterdir():
        yield str(child)
        if child.is_dir():
            for grand_child in all_files(str(child)):
                yield str(Path(grand_child))


def zip_dir(path):
    """generate a zip"""
    zip_filename = zip_name(path)
    zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(zip_filename, 'w')
    print('create:', zip_filename)
    for file in all_files(path):
        print('adding... ', file)
        zip_file.write(file)
    zip_file.close()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    zip_dir('.')
    print('end!')
