UnsupportedCompressionMethodError about pylzma HOT 10 CLOSED

I have hit the same issue (both the invalid type '\x19' and the UnsupportedCompressionMethodError issue.)

I don't have control over the process that's compressing these files. I'm hoping that someone has found a workaround for this.

from pylzma.

FYI: I tried @Marginal's code (https://github.com/Marginal/pylzma) and still have the issue when opening 7z files created by NetApp's ONTAP operating system (assuming @aaronsims-netapp has the same issue).

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pylzma-0.4.8_14_gaea5dev-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/py7zlib.py", line 612, in read
    raise UnsupportedCompressionMethodError(repr(coder['method']))
py7zlib.UnsupportedCompressionMethodError: '!'

EDIT: the invalid type issue seems to be gone, its just the UnsupportedCompressionMethodError remaining.

Further info:

libmagic identifies the 7z file I'm having a problem with as:
body.7z: 7-zip archive data, version 0.4

version 0.3 and prior have no issue.

from pylzma.

In the ArchiveFile.read(), in the for loop for coder in self._folder.coders:

With both a version 0.3 7z file and a version 0.4 7z file, on first call of the read() function, the coder pointer is:
{'numinstreams': 1, 'numoutstreams': 1, 'method': '\\x03\\x01\\x01', 'properties': ']\\x00`\\x00\\x00'}

On second call of the read() function:

• version 0.3 is: {'numinstreams': 1, 'numoutstreams': 1, 'method': '\\x03\\x01\\x01', 'properties': ']\\x00`\\x00\\x00'}

• version 0.4 is: "{'numinstreams': 1, 'numoutstreams': 1, 'method': '!', 'properties': '\\x04'}

This is what's throwing the error.

Further information.

The file in question extracts without issue using 7-zip and p7zip version 9.20

from pylzma.

Could you please provide a small example file that can be used to reproduce the error?

from pylzma.

Yes, however it might contain confidential information so am I able to send outside of this thread?

from pylzma.

Sure, you should see my email address in my profile. However a small public file would be great, so I could add it as testcase if/when the problem is solved.

from pylzma.

I've sent you the confidential one. I'll try to get you one that can be public. Stay tuned.

This file has the same issue (was created with Keka for Mac version 1.1.1 (2733).

test-issue-43.7z.zip

Sorry it had to be zipped as GitHub doesn't allow uploading of 7z files.
