Recently I found myself dividing my attention between watching the Minnesota Twins lose yet another ballgame and goofing around with an idea that popped into my head for no reason I can name.
The idea turned out better than imagined in terms of capability given its design simplicity, so I thought I’d document it here. It’s not super useful as is, but those relatively new to Python might find it educational or otherwise helpful.

This edition of Simple Tricks contains a random collection of bits and pieces. First, some cute bits from the interweb, then some more-or-less one-off bits I whipped up for a project and which were just barely useful enough to keep. (If for no other reason than to publish them here.)
I’ll end with a pair of simple Python functions, one to list the contents of an existing ZIP file, and one to create a new one from files in a subdirectory. The latter can be the basis for a more sophisticated archive function.
