Answer 1

I don't know if there is a particular function that might help you but what I usually do is that just run terminal commands from python (I use a Linux system).

import os
import subprocess

subprocess.call (["7z", "x", "test.7z", "-ppasswd"])

In the above example test is the name of your file and passwd is the password that you need for decompression.
