Enter a zip password with python

Question

Does anyone know how to open a password protected zip file with python if the password is "123" and the file name is :

/tmp/alien-zip-2092.zip

And then also read the txt file inside it?

You are right, how about [this one](https://stackoverflow.com/a/25338801/2557030)? — Raul Sauco, Feb 23 '18 at 15:02
I don't know if this is useful or not - but you could figure out a way to do it on the Linux command line, and then invoke that command as a subprocess in Python. — alex, Feb 23 '18 at 16:11

Here is one way to do it:

import zipfile

zip = zipfile.ZipFile('/tmp/alien-zip-2092.zip', 'r')
zip.setpassword(b"123")
zip.extractall('extract/folder')
zip.close()
