why can't python unzip a password protected zip file created by winrar using the zip method?

Question

I have searched the web high and low but still couldn\'t find a solution for the above problem. Does anyone out there know why and if so how it can be done?

Answer 1

To offer the exact syntaxt without acronym:

from zipfile import ZipFile

str_zipFile = 'FileZip.zip'
str_pwd= 'xxxx'

with ZipFile(str_zipFile) as zipObj:
  zipObj.extractall(pwd = bytes(str_pwd,'utf-8'))
