Unpacking AES-256 encrypted zip files in memory using pylzma

[Ron Katriel]

Hi,

I am using the ZipFile module from the Python zipfile package to read in and unpack zip archives into memory:

import zipfile
zfile = zipfile.ZipFile(filehandle, 'r', compression=zipfile.ZIP_LZMA)
zfile.setpassword(password)

However, this does not work with AES-256 encryption (a known issue). Is it possible to achieve this using pylzma?

Thanks,
Ron

pylzma supports AES-256 encryption for .7z files, but not for .zip files.
