pyzipper
A replacement for Python's zipfile
that can read and write AES encrypted
zip files. Forked from Python 3.7's zipfile
module, it features the same
zipfile
API from that time (most notably, lacking support for
pathlib
-compatible wrappers that were introduced in Python 3.8).
Installation
pip install pyzipper
Usage
import pyzipper
secret_password = b'lost art of keeping a secret'
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')
AES Strength
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:
import pyzipper
secret_password = b'lost art of keeping a secret'
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')
