zip error: Invalid command arguments (cannot write zip file to terminal)

Question

我正在学习Python这本书。输入书上的例子后

import os
import time

# 1. The files and directories to be backed up are
# specified in a list.
# Example on Windows:
# source = ['"C:\MY Documents"', 'C:\Code']
# Example on Mac OS X and Linux:
source = ['/home/username/Downloads/books']
# Notice we had to use double quotes inside the string
# for  names with spaces in it.

# 2. The backup must be stored in a 
# main backup directory
# Example on Windows:
# target_dir = 'E:\Backup'
# Example on Mac OS X and Linux:
target_dir = '/home/username/Downloads/backup'
# Remember to change this to which folder you will be using

# 3. The files are backed up into a zip file.
# 4. The name of the zip archive is the current date and time
target = target_dir + os.sep + \
        time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S') + '.zip'

# Create target directory if it is not present
if not os.path.exists(target_dir):
    os.mkdir(target_dir)    # make directory

# 5. We use the zip commond to put the files in a zip archive
zip_command = "zip - r {0} {1}".format(target, ' '.join(source))

# Run the backup
print "Zip command is:"
print zip_command
print "Running:"
if os.system(zip_command) == 0:
    print 'Successful backup to', target
else:
    print 'Backup FALIED'

我去留言zip error: Invalid command arguments (cannot write zip file to terminal) 我无法弄清楚哪里出了问题，我在本书中输入了相同的代码。有人知道为什么会这样吗？

Answer 1

问题出在您正在创建的 zip 命令中，- 和 r 之间有一个额外的 space。例子-

zip_command = "zip - r {0} {1}".format(target, ' '.join(source))
                    ^
Notice the extra space

-和r之间应该没有space。例子-

zip_command = "zip -r {0} {1}".format(target, ' '.join(source))

此外，我想建议，最好使用 subprocess.call() 而不是 os.system ，为命令提供一个参数列表。例子-

import subprocess
zip_command = ['zip','-r',target]
for s in source:
    zip_command.append(s)
subprocess.call(zip_command)

这样更容易看到错误。
