Python - the zipfile module doesn't seem to work with passwords

Question

I\'ve been trying to implement a very simple script, extracting zip files that are password protected. I have created a simple zip file (test.zip) with the password \"1234\"

Answer 1

agree with eryksun & joaquin

7z l -slt test.zip | grep Method

will show you the compress method used.

7z a -p1234 -mem=ZipCrypto test.zip 1.txt 2.txt

will create a python zipfile compatible zip.

7z a -p1234 -mem=AES128 test.zip 1.txt 2.txt

will create a AES encrypted zip.
