python error when extracting a rar file: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

I am using rarfile to extract code in Spyder(python3.6). When trying to execute the following code

import rarfile
rar_file = "d:\\test\\reza3.rar"
rar_file = rarfile.RarFile(rar_file)
rar_file.extractall(pwd='123')

I am receiving this error

    In [25]: rar_file = "d:\\test\\reza3.rar"
    
    In [26]: rar_file = rarfile.RarFile(rar_file)
    
    In [27]: rar_file.extractall(pwd='321')
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    
      File "<ipython-input-27-61fee530b204>", line 1, in <module>
        rar_file.extractall(pwd='321')
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\rarfile.py", line 847, in extractall
        dst = self._extract_one(inf, path, pwd, not inf.is_dir())
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\rarfile.py", line 912, in _extract_one
        return self._make_file(info, dstfn, pwd, set_attrs)
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\rarfile.py", line 925, in _make_file
        with self.open(info, "r", pwd) as src:
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\rarfile.py", line 783, in open
        return self._file_parser.open(inf, pwd)
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\rarfile.py", line 1241, in open
        return self._open_unrar(self._rarfile, inf, pwd)
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\rarfile.py", line 1294, in _open_unrar
        cmd = setup.open_cmdline(pwd, rarfile, fn)
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\rarfile.py", line 3235, in open_cmdline
        cmdline = self.get_cmdline("open_cmd", pwd)
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\rarfile.py", line 3247, in get_cmdline
        self.add_password_arg(cmdline, pwd)
    
      File "D:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\rarfile.py", line 3265, in add_password_arg
        cmdline.extend(args)
    
    TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

What is causing the TypeError? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Use "with" ,try this, place at the same directory

from rarfile import RarFile
with RarFile('reza3.rar', 'r') as extr:
     extr.extractall(pwd='<your_password>')
