Debug

Known footguns

breakingIn v31.0.0, patch extraction is no longer installed by default. Use the [patch] extra to include patch.py support.

gotchaThe main extraction function `extract_archive` is located in the `extractcode.api` module, not in the top-level `extractcode` package. Importing from the top level will raise ImportError.

deprecatedOlder versions used `extractcode.extract()` or similar functions that are now removed. Check the API for the current interface.
