[Tutor] Extracting from password protected zipfiles

[Charlie Clark]

Dear list,

I've received a bundle of fotos in a zip file from a friend but the file is 
password protected and neither unzip (5.40) nor gzip(1.2.4) support 
decryption on my system so I thought I would try Python's own zipfile 
module. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work either. Searching the net 
hasn't revealed much either.

As I get an error on attempting to read the data, I guess it's not possible 
to read and decrypt but I have to pass the password in some form. Any ideas 
as to whether this possible?

Thanx very much

Charlie
