python code:
import zipfile,os
ziped = zipfile.ZipFile('project.zip', 'w')
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print """
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Title</title>
</head><body><center>"""
x=os.listdir("./")
for item in x:
if item!="project.zip":
ziped.write(item)
print "<br>"*5
print"<a href='project.zip'>Click Here to download the source codes</a>"
print"""
</body>
</html>"""

textmate puts that in when I start a new cgi file I just didn't paste it into my post.
textmate does the whole thing correctly as a .py so I'm thinking it's a permissions thing but AFAIK everything is chmod 777
