使用 zipfile 读取受密码保护的 Word 文档

Question

I am trying to read a password protected word document on Python using zipfile. The following code works with a non-password protected document, but gives an error when used with a password protected file.

try:
    from xml.etree.cElementTree import XML
except ImportError:
    from xml.etree.ElementTree import XML
import zipfile

psw = "1234"

WORD_NAMESPACE = '{http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main}'
PARA = WORD_NAMESPACE + 'p'
TEXT = WORD_NAMESPACE + 't'

def get_docx_text(path):

    document = zipfile.ZipFile(path, "r")
    document.setpassword(psw)
    document.extractall()
    xml_content = document.read('word/document.xml')
    document.close()
    tree = XML(xml_content)

    paragraphs = []
    for paragraph in tree.getiterator(PARA):
        texts = [node.text
                 for node in paragraph.getiterator(TEXT)
                 if node.text]
        if texts:
            paragraphs.append(''.join(texts))

    return '\n\n'.join(paragraphs)

When running get_docx_text() with a password protected file, I received the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-15-d2783899bfe5>", line 1, in <module>

BadZipfile: File is not a zip file

Does anyone have any advice to get this code to work?

Answer 1

I don't think this is an encryption problem, for two reasons:

1. Decryption is not attempted when the ZipFile object is created. Methods like ZipFile.extractall , extract , and open , and read take an optional pwd parameter containing the password, but the object constructor / initializer does not.

2. Your stack trace indicates that the BadZipFile is being raised when you create the ZipFile object, before you call setpassword :

    document = zipfile.ZipFile(path, "r")

I'd look carefully for other differences between the two files you're testing: ownership, permissions, security context (if you have that on your OS), ... even filename differences can cause a framework to "not see" the file you're working on.

Also --- the obvious one --- try opening the encrypted zip file with your zip-compatible command of choice. See if it really is a zip file.

I tested this by opening an encrypted zip file in Python 3.1, while "forgetting" to provide a password. I could create the ZipFile object (the variable zfile below) without any error, but got a RuntimeError --- not a BadZipFile exception --- when I tried to read a file without providing a password:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./zf.py", line 35, in <module>
    main()
  File "./zf.py", line 29, in main
    print_checksums(zipfile_name)
  File "./zf.py", line 22, in print_checksums
    for checksum in checksum_contents(zipfile_name):
  File "./zf.py", line 13, in checksum_contents
    inner_file = zfile.open(inner_filename, "r")
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.1/zipfile.py", line 903, in open
    "password required for extraction" % name)
RuntimeError: File apache.log is encrypted, password required for extraction

I was also able to raise a BadZipfile exception, once by trying to open an empty file and once by trying to open some random logfile text that I'd renamed to a ".zip" extension. The two test files produced identical stack traces, down to the line numbers.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./zf.py", line 35, in <module>
    main()
  File "./zf.py", line 29, in main
    print_checksums(zipfile_name)
  File "./zf.py", line 22, in print_checksums
    for checksum in checksum_contents(zipfile_name):
  File "./zf.py", line 10, in checksum_contents
    zfile = zipfile.ZipFile(zipfile_name, "r")
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.1/zipfile.py", line 706, in __init__
    self._GetContents()
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.1/zipfile.py", line 726, in _GetContents
    self._RealGetContents()
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.1/zipfile.py", line 738, in _RealGetContents
    raise BadZipfile("File is not a zip file")
zipfile.BadZipfile: File is not a zip file

While this stack trace isn't exactly the same as yours --- mine has a call to _GetContents , and the pre-3.2 "small f" spelling of BadZipfile --- but they're close enough that I think this is the kind of problem you're dealing with.
