How to store files inside directory for temporary and make a zip file?

Here I have a list of images that I want to make a zip and download. For this I tried to upload these images inside the project directory first and then trying to zip from this uploaded files.

I am getting this error:

IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/home/project/images'

How can I send a zip file with these images ?

images_list = [image_absolute_url1, image_absolute_url2]
folder = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "images")
os.mkdir(folder)
with open(folder, 'wb+') as f:
    for file in images_list:
        f.write(file)
response = HttpResponse(content_type='application/zip')
zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(response, 'w')
for filename in images_list:
    zip_file.write(filename)
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; zip_file'
return response

UPDATE: Thanks to @Michael now the files are created inside directory as 0,1 and inside 0,1 there are images links.

Now I am getting issues with zip

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '0'

Updated Code

    for i, imgfile in enumerate(image_list):
        with open(os.path.join(folder, str(i)), 'wb+') as f:
            f.write(imgfile)
    response = HttpResponse(content_type='application/zip')
    zip_file = zipfile.ZipFile(response, 'w')
    folder_files = os.listdir(folder)
    for filename in folder_files:
       file = os.path.join(folder, filename)
       zip_file.write(file)
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; zip_file.zip'
    return response

New error response:

AttributeError: 'HttpResponse' object has no attribute 'seek'

You have to open (and automatically create) files in the folder. You can't open and write to the folder (aka directory) itself.

Basically this can look like:

from os.path import join

.
.
.

for i, imgfile in enumerate(images_list):
    with open(join(folder, str(i)), 'wb+') as f:
        f.write(imgfile)

This needs a lot of work yet to avoid e. g. name clashes of filenames if there are already files in the folder.
