FolderToISO

This Python script foldertoiso.py converts a specified folder into an ISO file using the shutil library. Here's a brief overview of its functionality and usage:

Usage

To convert a folder to an ISO file, run the script with two command-line arguments:

1. <path to folder>: Path to the folder you want to convert.
2. <path to iso>: Desired path and filename of the resulting ISO file (without the .iso extension).

Example

python3 foldertoiso.py example_folder/ example_iso

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• shutil library (standard library in Python)

How It Works

1. The script compresses the specified folder into a ZIP archive using shutil.make_archive.
2. It then renames the ZIP archive with a .iso extension to simulate an ISO file.
3. Finally, it notifies the user of the successful conversion or prints an error message if any issues occur.

Notes

• Ensure that the folder you specify exists and the paths are correct.
• The resulting file is a ZIP archive renamed with a .iso extension, not a true ISO 9660 image.
