用tarfile模块压缩文件和目录

tarfile模块直接连目录带其下的所有子目录与文件全部压缩，非常方便。

import tarfile, os

def make_tar(folder_to_backup, dest_folder, compression='bz2'): 
    if compression:
        dest_ext = '.' + compression 
    else:
        dest_ext = ''
    arcname = os.path.basename(folder_to_backup)
    dest_name = '%s.tar%s' % (arcname, dest_ext) 
    dest_path = os.path.join(dest_folder, dest_name)
    if compression: 
        dest_cmp = ':' + compression
    else:
        dest_cmp = ''
    out = tarfile.TarFile.open(dest_path, 'w'+dest_cmp)
    out.add(folder_to_backup, arcname)
    out.close( )
    return dest_path

make_tar("d:\\tools\\python", "d:\\")
