Default DBPF and Decompressing DLL's for Python?
Greets!

I'm learning Python and am wanting to create several tool for Sims 2.

A couple will be simple like auto renaming package.package+ files. (Yes, Bulk Rename works fine)
Auto Search and Destroy of known bad files that get shipped with Sims.
Such as the (I think) red eyebrow file and the ~6.2 meg file.
These can be identified by MD5. (Delphy's Download Organizer has what it takes to do this)

But later I want to create a Default clothes replacer.

So, my question after looking at the tools used.

Are there DLL's that Python is capable of using for:

Decompressing the files.
Breaking the (dbpf) package into its separate files.

Thanks a Bunch!

Greets HugeLunatic,

You are correct, it doesn't use Python.

However, it's possible that Python can use the functions in premade DLLs from other languages.

Your pointer doesn't help, but thanks anyway.
