Democritus functions[1] for working with archives.
[1] Democritus functions are simple, effective, modular, well-tested, and well-documented Python functions.
We use d8s (pronounced "dee-eights") as an abbreviation for democritus (you can read more about this here).
pip install d8s-archives
You import the library like:
from d8s_archives import *Once imported, you can use any of the functions listed below.
-
def archive_create(file_path, output_path, *, archive_name=None): """Archive the given file."""
-
def archive_read(file_path, *, archive_name=None, password=None) -> Iterable[Tuple[str, str]]: """Read file(s) from the archive. If archive_name is given, read only that file; otherwise, read all files."""
