This is the code :

"""
To decrypt a zipfile which has a password.
"""
import os
import zipfile
file_zip = zipfile.ZipFile('dict.zip')
file_zip.extractall(pwd="456789")
file_zip.close()

'456789' is the right password but I got a 'Bad password for file' error. I have tried many different passwords and files but every time I'm faced with this error. I can't seem to figure out the reason.

Just tried this on a Mac, works perfectly fine. Can you provide more info about your dev environment? – pragman Feb 18 '17 at 07:32
