Useful Hacks @ ssokolow.com
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.

Well, exams are over and the “no obligations” portion of my vacation is roughly half-way through. I’m not in a blogging mood at the moment, but I did write up a new Useful Hacks page on a whim.
Given how automated it is, it’ll probably get updated frequently. (I just drag-and-drop files into the FTP client and it does the rest)
Enjoy.
