Pure-Python RAR and GIF handling
I just pushed my attempts at RAR and GIF handling in Python to my useful hacks page.
The GIF one functions as a partial validator, but it’s main designed purpose was to tell static from animated GIFs without a ton of dependencies.
The RAR one is only really useful for identifying RAR files by header and listing their contents so far, but I eventually hope to add support for extracting files which were stored without compression. (Usually video files, as the docstring says)
Enjoy.
