import pyzipper

with pyzipper.AESZipFile(dest + '.zip', "w", encryption=pyzipper.WZ_AES) as zf:
    zf.setpassword(b"password")
    for file in os.listdir(dest):
        fullfile = os.path.join(dest, file)
        zf.write(fullfile, file)

• import pyzipper vs import zipfile
pyzipper is mostly API-compatible with zipfile.
  zipfile can use passwords mainly when extracting, but does not support creating AES-encrypted ZIP files. pyzipper supports creating encrypted ZIP files.
• zf.write(path1, path2)
path1: source file path to compress
  path2: path inside the ZIP archive
• pyzipper.AESZipFile
• Encryption-related parameters
  encryption=pyzipper.WZ_AES (AES encryption)
  zf.setpassword(b"password") (set password)

import py7zr

with py7zr.SevenZipFile(dest + '.7z', 'w', password='password') as archive:
    archive.writeall(dest, '')

• archive.writeall(path1, path2)
path1: source path to compress (can be a directory)
  path2: target path inside the 7z archive; '' means archive root

• Encryption parameter
  password='password'
