How do I setpassword to compressed zip files in Python

I get this error when I try to set a password to a zip file. Below is the code/error I get. Please give me an example of the correct wa开发者_JS百科y to do it.

• This is just the password part of the script... the entire script is to long to post.

Code:

password = "dog" 
password = zipfile.setpassword(pwd)

Error received when hitting the password part of the script.

Are you running Python 2.6+?

ZipFile.setpassword(pwd)

Set pwd as default password to extract encrypted files.

New in version 2.6.

The Python zipfile docs say at the top that they "[support] decryption of encrypted files in ZIP archives, but it currently cannot create an encrypted file."

You need to reference the particular zip, instead of the module.

zpf = zipfile.ZipFile('your file path')
password = "dog" 
password = zpf.setpassword(pwd)
