Project description
Unified interface for tar, zip, sevenzip, and rar files
Table Of Contents
About
archivefile
is a wrapper around tarfile
, zipfile
, py7zr
, and rarfile
.
The above libraries are excellent when you are dealing with a single archive format but things quickly get annoying when you have a bunch of mixed archives such as .zip
, .7z
, .cbr
, .tar.gz
, etc because each library has a slightly different syntax and quirks which you need to deal with.
archivefile
wraps the common methods from the above libraries to provide a unified interface that takes care of said differences under the hood. However, it's not as powerful as the libraries it wraps due to lack of support for features that are unique to a specific archive format and library.
Installation
archivefile
is available on PyPI, so you can simply use pip to install it.

Usage
archivefile
offers a single class called ArchiveFile
to deal with various archive formats. Some examples are given below:
from archivefile import ArchiveFile
with ArchiveFile("../source.zip") as archive:
archive.extract("pyproject.toml", destination="./dest/") # Extract a single member by it's name
archive.extractall(destination="./dest/") # Extract all members
archive.get_member("pyproject.toml") # Get the ArchiveMember object for the member by it's name
archive.get_members() # Retrieve all members from the archive as a tuple of ArchiveMember objects
archive.get_names() # Retrieve names of all members in the archive as a tuple of strings
archive.read_bytes("pyproject.toml") # Read the contents of the member as bytes
archive.read_text("pyproject.toml") # Read the contents of the member as text
archive.print_tree() # Print the contents of the archive as a tree.
archive.print_table() # Print the contents of the archive as a table.
with ArchiveFile("../source.zip", "w") as archive:
archive.write("foo.txt", arcname="bar.txt") # Write foo.txt to the archive as bar.txt
archive.writeall("./src/") # Recursively write the ./src/ directory to the archive
archive.write_text("spam and eggs", arcname="recipe.txt") # Write a string to the archive as recipe.txt
archive.write_bytes(b"0101001010100101", arcname="terminator.py") # Write bytes to the archive as terminator.py
