Create Password Protected Zip containing a Single File.

See more Zip Examples

Create a password-protected .zip containing a single file. (This uses the older Zip 2.0 encryption scheme, which is weaker and not as secure as AES encryption, which Chilkat Zip also supports.) CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

zip = chilkat.CkZip()

success = zip.NewZip("test.zip")
if (success == False):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

zip.SetPassword("secret")
zip.put_PasswordProtect(True)

saveExtraPath = False
success = zip.AddFile("/temp/hamlet.xml",saveExtraPath)

success = zip.WriteZipAndClose()
if (success == False):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Zip Created!")
