Python interface to libarchive
Project description
A Python interface to libarchive. It uses the standard ctypes module to dynamically load and access the C library.
Installation
pip install libarchive-c
python-libarchive-c is compatible with python 2 and 3.
Usage
Import:
import libarchive
To extract an archive to the current directory:
libarchive.extract_file('test.zip')
extract_memory extracts from a buffer instead, and extract_fd extracts from a file descriptor.
To read an archive:
with libarchive.file_reader('test.7z') as archive: for entry in archive: for block in entry.get_blocks(): ...
memory_reader reads from a memory buffer instead, and fd_reader reads from a file descriptor.
To create an archive:
with libarchive.file_writer('test.tar.gz', 'ustar', 'gzip') as archive: archive.add_files('libarchive/', 'README.rst')
memory_writer writes to a memory buffer instead, fd_writer writes to a file descriptor, and custom_writer sends the data to a callback function.
You can also find more thorough examples in the tests/ directory.
