How to create a .rar file using python?

Question

I want to create a .rar file by passing file paths of the files to be archived.

I have tried the rarfile package. But it doesn't have a 'w' option to write to the rarfile handler.

Is there any other way?

Answer 1

os.system('rar a <archive_file_path> <file_path_to_be_added_to_archive>')

Can also be used to achieve this.
