Lecture des archives rar en Python.

Description

This is Python module for Rar archive reading. The interface is made as zipfile like as possible.

Features:

    * Supports RAR 3.x archives.
    * Supports multi volume archives.
    * Supports Unicode filenames.
    * Handles non-compressed files without outside help.
    * For compressed files uses unrar utility.

Missing features:

    * Password-protected archives.
    * Comment handling. (archive, file)
    * Decompression through unrarlib and/or unrar.dll.
    * extract_with_hack on multi-volume archives

Personally, I have no need for those, so those are postponed indefinitely.
