import zipfile 

t = "testie.zip"


# create a new zip file
# use the 'w' to write a new file
zippy = zipfile.ZipFile(t, "w")

# add contents to zip file
# I used a couple files I had sitting around
# you'll need to change these to files in your
# current directory
print 'Adding contents to zip file...'
zippy.write('echoClient.py')
zippy.write('echoServer.py')

zippy.close()
