Adding file to existing zipfile

Question

I'm using python's zipfile module.
Having a zip file located in a path of:
/home/user/a/b/c/test.zip
And having another file created under /home/user/a/b/c/1.txt I want to add this file to existing zip, I did:

zip = zipfile.ZipFile('/home/user/a/b/c/test.zip','a')
zip.write('/home/user/a/b/c/1.txt')
zip.close()`

And got all the subfolders appears in path when unzipping the file, how do I just enter the zip file without path's subfolders?

I tried also : zip.write(os.path.basename('/home/user/a/b/c/1.txt')) And got an error that file doesn't exist, although it does.

Answer 1

import zipfile

# Open a zip file at the given filepath. If it doesn't exist, create one.
# If the directory does not exist, it fails with FileNotFoundError
filepath = '/home/user/a/b/c/test.zip'
with zipfile.ZipFile(filepath, 'a') as zipf:
    # Add a file located at the source_path to the destination within the zip
    # file. It will overwrite existing files if the names collide, but it
    # will give a warning
    source_path = '/home/user/a/b/c/1.txt'
    destination = 'foobar.txt'
    zipf.write(source_path, destination)
