Cannot zip hughe directories

[swalsberger]

Cannot create zipfiles > 4GB

Exception:
"...Filesize would require ZIP64 extensions"

in the python zipfile module you can add a flag "allowZip64 = True" in the cmd

maybe you can add this to your lib

@vkosuri yes, if you want, but you need to change only two line ;)

keywords.py

def create_zip_from_files_in_directory(self, directory, filename, sub_directories=False, allowZip64=False):
      """ your comment
     """
     the_zip = zipfile.ZipFile(filename, "w", allowZip64)
