If you get that far then you'll have a decent understanding on how zip and io can work. My advice then would be to hop in a time machine and check out https://github.com/BuzonIO/zipfly.

The code is perplexing. Why do you need to say int('0x1', 16) and int('0x2', 16)? Why not just write 0x1 and 0x2? Or just plain 1 and 2?
I'm also perplexed by the goal as this seems to just call zipfile.write under the hood, which already does what this tries to accomplish?
