Un/packs an MHT (MHTML) archive into/from separate files, writing/reading them in directories to match their Content-Location.
Whole story is in my devlog.
- Cleanest would've been to use stdin/out, but turned out inconvenient, annoying even, so added command line options.
- Python's stdlib module's performance (premature optimization?):
email.message_from_bytes(mht.read()) # Parser is "conducive to incremental parsing of email messages, such as would be necessary when reading the text of an email message from a source that can block", so I guess it's more efficient to have it read stdin directly, rather than buffering. - Encodings (ascii, UTF-8) and de/coding was painful, and probably still buggy.
- base64 encoded binaries: my editor, Geany, suffocates, I think, when wrapping these long lines?
- Verify index.html is present!?
- A few un/Pythonisms, idioms,I guess.
