async-unzip 0.4.5

Async unzipping to prevent asyncio timeout errors and decrease the memory usage for bigger zip files

async-unzip

Asynchronous unzipping of big files with low memory usage in Python Helps with big zip files unpacking (memory usage + buffer_size could be changed). Also, prevents having Asyncio Timeout errors especially in case of many workers using same CPU cores.

Fully tested on Python 3.7 through 3.14.

By default the extractor schedules up to 4 concurrent workers. Tune concurrency via the max_workers argument:

asyncio.run(unzip('archive.zip', path='output', max_workers=8))

When uvloop is installed, the event loop policy switches automatically to leverage its faster reactor.

When python-isal is installed, async-unzip automatically switches to its faster zlib-compatible decompressor; otherwise it falls back to the standard library zlib.

From version 0.3.6 module doesn't require, but expects to have aiofile OR aiofiles to be installed for I/O operations. However, aiofile is recommended for linux, just don't forget to install libaio (libaio1) linux module (e.g., apt install -y libaio1 for debian)

from async_unzip.unzipper import unzip
import asyncio

asyncio.run(unzip('tests/test_files/fixture_beta.zip', path='some_dir'))
