How to extract 7zip file from IBM Data Science Experience Notebook

Silly question, but being unable to install 7zip from the notebook, and not having access to the underling system, I am here stuck with different 7zip archives obtained via wget which I am not able to extract.

Also I would like to avoid the obvious option of downloading archives locally, and eventually upload data unzipped or in different formats, not really a process I can automatize easily.

Tested and worked for me

#for windows users :
pip install --user pyunpack
pip install --user patool

#for ubuntu users :
sudo pip install pyunpack
sudo pip install patool

from pyunpack import Archive
Archive('YourFile.7z').extractall("your/path/")

Not tested, but an idea: DSX allows to install custom libraries. You could try to install py7zlib which is able to decompress 7zip archives:

!pip install --user py7zlib

An later something like

myfile=open(filename,"rb")
archive = py7zlib.Archive7z(myfile)
data = archive.getmember(archive.getnames()[0]).read()
