You can use pyzipper for this task and it will work great when you want to encrypt a zip file or generate a protected zip file.

pip install pyzipper
pip install pyzipper
import pyzipper
def encrypt_():
secret_password = b'your password'
with pyzipper.AESZipFile('new_test.zip',
'w',
compression=pyzipper.ZIP_LZMA,
encryption=pyzipper.WZ_AES) as zf:
zf.setpassword(secret_password)
zf.writestr('test.txt', "What ever you do, don't tell anyone!")
with pyzipper.AESZipFile('new_test.zip') as zf:
zf.setpassword(secret_password)
my_secrets = zf.read('test.txt')
The strength of the AES encryption can be configure to be 128, 192 or 256 bits. By default it is 256 bits. Use the setencryption() method to specify the encryption kwargs:
def encrypt_():
secret_password = b'your password'
with pyzipper.AESZipFile('new_test.zip',
'w',
compression=pyzipper.ZIP_LZMA) as zf:
zf.setpassword(secret_password)
zf.setencryption(pyzipper.WZ_AES, nbits=128)
zf.writestr('test.txt', "What ever you do, don't tell anyone!")
with pyzipper.AESZipFile('new_test.zip') as zf:
zf.setpassword(secret_password)
my_secrets = zf.read('test.txt')
