pyunpack: Unpack Archive Files

JSON →
library 0.3 ·python
verified May 24, 2026

pyunpack is a Python library that provides a simple interface for unpacking various archive file formats such as ZIP, RAR, and 7z. It primarily acts as a wrapper around the `patool` library, which in turn leverages external command-line unarchiving tools. If `patool` is not available or cannot handle a specific format, `pyunpack` falls back to Python's built-in `zipfile` module for ZIP archives. The current stable version is 0.3, released in June 2022, with an infrequent release cadence.
