self extracting zipefile (windows) and (standard module) zipefile

[Werner]

Hi,


I try to read (and extract) some "self extracting" zipefiles on a
Windows system. The standard module zipefile seems not to be able to
handle this.

>>> fName = r"C:\tmp\mySelfExtratingFile.exe"
>>> import zipfile
>>> zipefile.is_zipfile(fName))
False

Is there a wrapper or has some one experience with other libaries to
extract those files?


Thanks in advance
Werner
