unpack stack_overflow_16k.tar.gz in stack_overflow_16k folder in python

You can unpack a tar.gz file in Python using the tarfile module. Here's an example of how to unpack stack_overflow_16k.tar.gz file into the stack_overflow_16k folder:

main.py
import tarfile

# Open the .tar.gz file
with tarfile.open('stack_overflow_16k.tar.gz', 'r:gz') as tar:
    # Extract all files to the specified folder
    tar.extractall('stack_overflow_16k')

print('Files extracted successfully.')
232 chars
9 lines

Make sure that both the stack_overflow_16k.tar.gz file and the stack_overflow_16k folder are in the same directory as your Python script. If you're executing the script from a different location, you might need to provide the full path to the file and folder.

After running this script, all the files from the stack_overflow_16k.tar.gz archive will be extracted into the stack_overflow_16k folder.
