CLN: Unused file 'path_to_file.zip'

[lucasrodes]

New file path_to_file.zip was added in #37844.

I believe this is file is (accidentally?) generated when running scripts/validate_docstrings.py and probably is not needed in the repository.

I am not yet familiar with scripts/validate_docstrings.py, but is it possible that it executes the docstring example section?

Related to this, I found this line, where 'path_to_file.zip' appears:

pandas/pandas/io/excel/_base.py

Line 630 in 1f89b82

>>> with zipfile.ZipFile('path_to_file.zip', 'w') as zf:

good point, thanks @lucasrodes

we only execute this on the CI so nbd there (guess it was picked up when the PR was commited).

i suppose we should just add *.zip to our .gitignore (and other files that we generate just to be safe).

@lucasrodes would love a PR
