How do I extract all content from a compressed file to the current directory? P.S.: The file has folders and files.

        #?

Answer 1

Try to use Pylzma:

import pylzma
i = open(compressed_file, 'rb')
o = open(decompressed_file, 'wb')
s = pylzma.decompressobj()
while True:
    tmp = i.read(1)
    if not tmp: break
    o.write(s.decompress(tmp))
o.close()
i.close()
