To use py7zr to encrypt a file with a password and send a RESTful message notifying the compression completion along with the output path as an extra parameter, you would need to follow these general steps:
Install the py7zr library: You can install py7zr using pip by running the following command:
pip install py7zr
Import the necessary modules: In your Python script, import the required modules:
import py7zr
import requests
Compress and encrypt the file: Use py7zr to create a compressed and encrypted 7-Zip archive with a password:
def compress_and_encrypt_file(file_path, output_path, password):
with py7zr.SevenZipFile(output_path, 'w', password=password) as archive:
archive.writeall(file_path, '')
Send the RESTful message: Use the requests library to send a RESTful message with the output path as an extra parameter:
def send_restful_message(url, output_path):
payload = {'output_path': output_path}
response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
if response.status_code == 200:
print("Compression notification sent successfully.")
else:
print("Failed to send compression notification.")
Invoke the functions: Call the functions with the appropriate arguments:
file_path = '/path/to/file'
output_path = '/path/to/output/archive.7z'
password = 'your_password'
url = 'https://your-rest-api-endpoint'
compress_and_encrypt_file(file_path, output_path, password)
send_restful_message(url, output_path)
In the compress_and_encrypt_file
function, the SevenZipFile
class from py7zr is used to create a new archive with the specified output path and password. The writeall
method is used to add the file to the archive.
In the send_restful_message
function, the requests library is used to send a POST request to the specified URL with the output path as a JSON payload.
Make sure to replace the placeholder values (file_path
, output_path
, password
, and url
) with your actual file path, output path, password, and RESTful API endpoint.
Remember to handle exceptions, perform error checking, and adapt the code to fit your specific requirements and environment.
