Setting a password with python's zipfile module

Question

When using the python module zipfile , for some reason I don't know I can't set a password for an archive created.

When trying to unzip following empty zip archive, I can do so without prompting a password..

Here is my code, what's wrong?

import zipfile  
with zipfile.ZipFile("1.zip","w") as zip:
    zip.setpassword("1234")

Answer 1

From documentation for zipfile module

It supports decryption of encrypted files in ZIP archives, but it currently cannot create an encrypted file.
