Running command:

$ mkdir foo; python -mzipfile -c foo.zip foo; python -mzipfile -e foo.zip dest
ls: cannot access dest: No such file or directory

This is because 'foo.zip' is empty since running 'python -mzipfile -c foo.zip foo' does not zip empty directories.

Running 'unzip foo.zip' also produces:
Archive:  foo.zip
warning [foo.zip]:  zipfile is empty

The following posted patch fixes this issue.
