Python Zipfile writes full path to file

Question

I am making a zipfile in Python 3 like this:

zf = zipfile.ZipFile("/path/to/zipfile.zip", mode='w')
try:
    zf.write("/path/to/original.file")
finally:
    zf.close()

However, when I unzip it, I get this structure:

path
└── to
    └── original.file

How can I resolve this?

Answer 1

import os
import zipfile
zf = zipfile.ZipFile("/path/to/zipfile.zip", mode='w')
try:
    os.chdir("/path/to/original file folder")
    zf.write("original.file")
finally:
    zf.close()
