Brilliant. Took me hours to find a good tutorial for unpacking archive with Python and this did the job. Plus, you are easy to understand. Unlike a lot of the other people on here doing similar.

Great, I in the same way with Gary Cook, very simple and usefull, it will be very helpfull if you add a function where if the file already exist, it wont be decompressed, thanks a lot
