Hello iquano,

Using the stackexcange post, and adapting the python code posted for uncompression to compression, you can use the following:

import zlib

with open('test', 'rb') as input:
   uncomp=input.read()
   input.close()

z=zlib.compress(uncomp)
   
with open('test.z', 'wb') as f:
   f.write(z)
   f.close()

The input file here is called test, creating the compressed test.z
