I would rather not have a user open the zip and set the password manually. I'm trying the 7-zip solution, but I can't get past this error: WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified The line it fails at is here: z = subprocess.call(['7z', 'a', '1234', '-y', name + '.zip'] + self.file_locs) (from now) oddly enough, when I open up a python shell, i can run the above just fine and it creates a .zip file. But when I run it from eclipse, the exact thing, I get the error.
