python - How do I catch a particular exception that I am expecting? -

i have been trying make simple zip file password cracker (just fun, not malicious purposes) try , except statement not work. no matter input leads except statement, , else never executed (even though zip file extract)

import zipfile  k = 0 file = zipfile.zipfile('john.zip') def check(i):     p = bytes(i, 'ascii')     try:         file.extractall(pwd=p)     except:         return false     else:         return true  def crack():         x = open('john(1).txt', 'r')         in x.readlines():             i.strip('\n')             k = check(i)             if k == true:                 print('password is: ' + k)                 break;             x.close()         x.close()` 

1) log error in except block. helps lot.

2) closing file in 'for' loop. bad idea loop reads lines file.

3) last line has reverse quote character @ end (may typo in question): `
