Extract to specific folder

def extract_file(filepath, flags=0):
    """Extracts an archive from a file into the current directory."""

May I propose an optional arg to specify the folder I want to extract to?

As far as I know libarchive doesn't support that, so we would have to call chdir, and I'm not sure that's a good idea.

I see. Ok then it's one of the many limitations of libarchive I guess.
