Known issues

gotchaThis package only provides a prebuilt binary. It does not include the libarchive Python bindings. You must separately install e.g., libarchive-c or pylibarchive to use the binary programmatically.

fix

Install a library like `libarchive-c` (`pip install libarchive-c`) and use `ctypes` or the library's API to load the binary from the path returned by `get_libarchive()`.

affects: all

gotchaThe import path uses underscore (`extractcode_libarchive`) not dot (`extractcode.libarchive`). A common mistake is to assume it's a subpackage.

fix

Use `from extractcode_libarchive import ...`

affects: all

gotchaThis plugin is packaged for use with ScanCode toolkit. Standalone usage may require additional setup for plugin discovery.

fix

Ensure `plugincode` is installed and the environment includes the ScanCode plugin registry.
