    What’d help with spreading this app more is if you could create a one-click installable package for less experienced users

          To get the size of archives and folders:
          os.stat(filename).st_size # for folders you have to use it together with os.walk()

          To get the list of files inside an archive I use the zipfile, rarfile and tarfile modules.
          For the file type, I either extract the extension from the name or I use a bash command via subprocess:file --mime-type filepath
          subprocess is used if there is no extension (as often happens with text files).

          I preferred to use subprocess to avoid having to increase the number of dependencies needed.
