# UpdateableZipFile

`UpdateableZipFile` is a simple python package base on a stack [overflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/35435548).

It implements a single class, `UpdateableZipFile`, that builds on top of the standart library `ZipFile`,

which allows user to update files inside a zip archive with ease.

## Example

```python

from updateablezipfile import UpdateableZipFile

with UpdateableZipFile("C:\Temp\Test2.docx", "a") as o:

    # Overwrite a file with a string

    o.writestr("word/document.xml", "Some data")

    # exclude an exiting file from the zip

    o.remove_file("word/fontTable.xml")

    # Write a new file (with no conflict) to the zp

    o.writestr("new_file", "more data")

    # Overwrite a file with a file

    o.write(r"C:\Temp\example.png", "word/settings.xml")

```
