uncompress_tree

uncompress_tree() will extract all archives found under a given root directory. Optionally, the found archives can be deleted after extraction with delete_archives=True.

This utility uses shutil.unpack_archive() to extract archives. Any format unknown to or incompatible with it will not be processed (or deleted).
