I need to password protect a zip file I am creating from within python.
I would rather not have a user open the zip and set the password manually.
I'm trying the 7-zip solution, but I can't get past this error: WindowsError:
[Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified
The line it fails at is here: z = subprocess.call(['7z', 'a', '1234', '-y',
name
+ '.zip'] + self.file_locs)
