Hi,

I’m quite new to handling binary files, I’m looking for a python implementation to decompress a 7zip and save the result as a new file.
Any chance of pointing me to a small example illustrating this? (I understand this goes beyond the scope of pylzma…..still it would be very helpful to me to understand how to achieve it

Thanks
L

Hey Joachim – you might never read this but thanks for writing up this post and showing off these libraries. I was trying to find a solution to use in Windows so I’ll download that package from PyPI and see what I can do.

Cheers,

Does anyone has a clear example of how to descompress a 7zip file?

There is no binary egg for Linux as the dependencies might vary between the different distributions. However it’s a lot easier on Linux install a compiler and build the modules than on Windows.

Just get the source tarball and execute python setup.py bdist_egg to build the egg after extracting.

You can check out the unittests included in the distribution. The API is pretty similar to what the “zlib” module provides.

Hi Joachim, is there any pylzma egg package for Linux? I am browsing through pylzma repository and I’ve only found egg package for Windows.

Thank you
