                Extract an encrypted zip file with a password using Python 3
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    Extract files from an encrpyted zip file with python3

Take care, python3's zipfile only supports encrypted zip files that use CRC-32 based encryption
This seems to be the default for the "zip" program on linux, but this doesn't work for AES encryption, or for many Windows based zip solutions
See https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.6/Lib/zipfile.py for more details
from zipfile import ZipFile
