INTRODUCTION

Users can compress files and folders to any sort of compressed file (.zip,.tar,.tgz, etc.) with this Python script file. After asking the user to choose the folder to compress, a list of the different compressed file types is shown. The application uses the specified file type to compress the chosen folder after the user selects the desired compressed file type from the list. The compressed file will be stored as "name_of_the_folder_date_month_year.zip" if the user chooses the.zip extension.
