I am trying to find an elegant way of reading content from an AES-encrypted zip-archive which is downloaded from a trusted source.

If it were not encrypted or just used cryptozip, I would just use a pythoncaller and zipfile and process the results of a httpcaller. However, zipfile within python seems to be unable to deal with aes.

Is there an elegent way around this? Will I have to save the file, run 7zip through a systemcaller and read the contents?

7-zip + systemcaller would be the best approach I believe

Too bad - I had hoped there would have been a nicer way to do it by now.

I'll have to find out the install and utilities folder first then.
