title: Split a zip archive into multiple chunks
body: <p>I'm trying to create a zip archive of a possibly huge folder.
  For this purpose I'm using the python zipfile module, but as far as I can see there is no option to split the created archive into multiple chunks with a max size.</p>
  
  <p>The zipped archive is supposed to be sent via Telegram, which has a size limitation of 1.5 GB per file. Thereby I need to split the resulting zip archive.</p>
  
  <p>I would really like to not use a subprocess and shell commands for creating this archive.</p>
  
  <p>My current code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def create_zip(archive_name, directory):
      """Create a zip file from given dir path."""
      with ZipFile(archive_name, "w", ZIP_LZMA) as target_zip_file:
          for root, _, files in os.walk(directory):
              for file_to_zip in files:
                  absolute_path = os.path.join(root, file_to_zip)
                  zip_file_name = absolute_path[len(directory) + len(os.sep):]
                  target_zip_file.write(absolute_path, zip_file_name)
  
      return target_zip_file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks in Advance</p>
