如何使用Python将文件压缩为受密码保护的存档

Question

Is there a way to compress gzip or zipfile as a password protected archive? Here is an example code illustrating how to archive file with no password protection:

import gzip, shutil

filepath = r'c:\my.log'

with gzip.GzipFile(filepath + ".gz", "w") as gz:
    with open(filepath) as with_open_file:
        shutil.copyfileobj(with_open_file, gz)

import zipfile

zf = zipfile.ZipFile(filepath + '.zip', 'w')
zf.write(filepath)
zf.close()

Answer 1

Python supports extracting password protected zips :

zipfile.ZipFile('myarchive.zip').extractall(pwd='P4$$W0rd')

Sadly, it does not support creating them. You can either call an external tool like 7zip or use a third-party library like this zlib wrapper .

Answer 2

Use gpg for encryption . That would be a separate wrapper around the archived and compressed data.
