Thanks, but the problem is that I am not allowed to install any
software in my office PC, even free software.
Normally, I use zip files but this time I need to extract a rar file.
I don't like to go to IT guys because it takes time.
That's why I am looking for an alternative way without installing
other software.
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
I am wondering is there any way to extract rar files by python without
WinRAR software?
I tried Archive() and patool, but seems they required the WinRAR software.
Perhaps 7-zip in a Python subprocess:

I'm not experienced with Python, but I found this:
"pip install patool
import patoolib
patoolib.extract_archive("foo_bar.rar", outdir=".")
Works on Windows and linux without any other libraries needed."
