[New-bugs-announce] [issue24877] Bad Password for file using zipfile module

[shiva prasanth]

New submission from shiva prasanth:

i created a zip file with password as getlost using Archive Manager which comes with ubuntu.
and when i try to extract the same file using zipfile module which comes with python2.7 with same password it is showing error as 
"Bad Password for file" which is absurd.
it should either give response of cant decrypt zipfile or some other.
when i try to do it with terminal command  

$zip --encrypt file.zip file

and upon entering the password it is working

my main point is it should not show Bad Password for file and 
and it should extractall
