Extract content from encrypted rar file with given password

Question

patoolib can be used to extra the content from a rar file, like:

import patoolib
patoolib.extract_archive("test.rar", outdir=".")

in case my test.rar file has the password 123 , how can I give the password as an argument to the extract_archive call?

Did not find anything in the documentation. Is there any alternative, any other lib?

Answer 1

Try using this library here , which supports password-protected archives.
