i'm pretty proud of this one...

[inkedmn]

i wrote this for work (a "custom solution" for one of our clients).

it's a very cheesy backup script.

and it works pretty well, i've never used the zipfile module before.

anyway, here's ALL the code :)

qool; glad to see you're getting to use python at work!

[Vanquish+]

your write python is, really good ... lol nice sig inkedmn

RESURRECTION:

have you ever looked back on some code you wrote a long time ago and wondered how you EVER thought it was well written?

[GnuVince]

inkedmn: funny that you are resurecting this _very_ thread, because I just used it (well, the code) to test 60 emails at work. Gonna check if everything went all right later.

And I suggest you take that code, and rewrite it again. Then, in another 4-6 months, look at it again, and see if you can improve it again.

well, i would, but it was for a client at my old job, so i'll have to just implement it differently.

i never did get the zip compression to work when i wrote that, i think i'll play with that a bit more...
