Create an encrypted ZIP file in Python

Question

I am creating an ZIP file with ZipFile in Python 2.5, it works ok so far:

import zipfile, os

locfile = \"test.txt\"
loczip = os.path.splitext (locfile)[0] +         


        

Answer 1

pyminizip works great in creating a password protected zip file. For unziping ,it fails at some situations. Tested on python 3.7.3

Here, i used pyminizip for encrypting the file.

import pyminizip
compression_level = 5 # 1-9
pyminizip.compress("src.txt",'src', "dst.zip", "password", compression_level)

For unzip, I used zip file module:

from zipfile import ZipFile

with ZipFile('/home/paulsteven/dst.zip') as zf:
    zf.extractall(pwd=b'password')
