[issue6749] Support for encrypted zipfiles when interpreting zipfile as script
Peter Manis added the comment: My thinking behind this was not to be the ultimate security against someone getting the source, but more of a very high wall to keep out the majority of people. It seems like the best way to determine what file should be decrypted and when a password should be prompted is to look at the header of the zip file where it defines the encryption information as the zip file is loaded. Taking that approach would allow someone, if they wanted, to put multiple encrypted zip files in the path and be prompted for each one. That is not my planned usage of it, but someone else may have a use for that. Could someone point me in the right direction on where this functionality would live if implemented? In the event there is enough votes to prevent it from being added I would like to try to work on it so I can patch my own installations of Python. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue6749> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Peter Manis added the comment: I don't think I will be able to provide a patch. If I am correct this would live in Modules/zipimport.c and I do not have enough experience in C/C++ to add in the feature. If in the end zipimport ends up using Lib/zipfile.py then I can work on adding the feature. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue6749> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

New submission from Peter Manis : The zipfile support in 2.6 that allows you pass a zipfile(with __main__.py inside) as the "script", does not support encrypted zipfiles. I view this as being a feature that could be useful to some. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 91800 nosy: manis severity: normal status: open title: Support for encrypted zipfiles when interpreting zipfile as script type: feature request versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.0, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue6749> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
