That's why I am looking for an alternative way without installing

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."

Rar is a proprietary format. They do distribute a free "unrar" program
for multiple platforms.
