How can I change this so the user can type their directory and get rid of the byte error?

Question

This is my code:

import zipfile

try:

    with zipfile.ZipFile("daysv2.zip") as file:

        file.extractall(pwd='abc123')

except Exception as e:

    print(e)

else:

    print("Extraction was successful")

I want to change such that the user can type the directory and his/her password? I also want to fix this error of

PWD: expected bytes, got st

Answer 1

The pwd must be a bytes object, which is written/indicated such as b'abc123'. Or more generically:

bytes('abc123', 'UTF-8') # For UTF-8 encoded string -> bytes
