to create a gzip-compressed file with a custom timestamp, you need to follow these steps:
here's an example code that demonstrates this process:
in this example, we:
you have learned how to set a custom timestamp for gzip-compressed files in python using the gzip module. this can be useful when you want to control the modification time of compressed files for specific use cases.
