Library for working with Electron's ASAR archives.
Project description
Library for working with Electron’s ASAR archive files. Electron (formely known as Atom Shell) uses it’s own archive format to compress files into a single file. The format is somewhat similar to TAR files. There’s a Node.JS package for working with ASAR files:
https://github.com/electron/asar
The URL above also contains the format documentation. Code was written for Python >3.4.
Installation
PyAsar is on PyPi (Python Package Index) and can be installed through Pip:
pip install pyasar
You can view more information about the package on the PyPi package:
Example usage
from asar import AsarArchive with AsarArchive.open('myasarfile.asar') as archive: archive.extract('/home/mydir')
At the moment that is all what it can do ;)
