Python Script for CMD Console (Windows 10) that can GUI-select and zip-compress a folder with the DATE appended to the resulting folderDATE.zip file; and (I added) the script can later can De-compress that same folderDATE.zip (or any zipped folder?) into a new folder named folderDATE. (This name change by default helps to avoid accidentally overwriting an existing folder of the same name created on a prior date?}
Desirable Future Features would be:

1. Add option to select two uncompressed folders, and perform a contents-comparison of the two uncompressed folders, and report the similarities/differences to CMD console.
2. Add option to select two compressed foldersDATEs.zip, and perform a contents-comparison of the two zipped-folders, and report the similarities/differences to CMD console.
3. Add option to select one uncompressed folder and one compressed foldersDATE.zip, and perform a contents-comparison of the two folders, and report the similarities/differences to CMD console.
