Accessing files from a rar/zip folder within Box via Python

Hello,

I have been using some Python code in order to access csv files within folders in Box and then read, manipulate and extract them.

However, I came into a problem while trying to access files within rar/zip folders. It seems that Box sees the rar/zip folders as files instead of as folders (in Box type terms). Moreover, when I try to access them I get a 404 error and the process terminates.

Is there a way to access files within rar/zip folders in Box via Python without manually extracting them?

If the above is not clear I would be happy to provide more clarifications and/or some code snippets in order to facilitate things.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Dimitris
