Background
Patool is very good at unpacking a lot of archive formats, but it can not be used as a python library. pyunpack is a workaround: patool is called using its command line interface. If Patool is not installed then only zip format can be unpacked using the internal python zipfile library. Patool should be converted into a library in the future.
Basic usage
>>> from pyunpack import Archive
>>> Archive('a.zip').extractall('/path/to')
or on console:
python -m pyunpack.cli a.zip /path/to
