Description

This is the most current and well-maintained Python codebase for working with WARC files. It provides a number of command-line tools for common WARC/ARC operations, and can also act as a library to create or work with WARC files directly from Python.

Pull requests and releases are currently managed by Thomas Figg, who can be contacted via Twitter.

Older Python WARC Implementations

This codebase was initially funded by IIPC and developed by Hanzo Archives. This lead to the hanzo-warc-tools package and source code.

There is also a separate warc package that was created by the Internet Archive (see source code), but is no longer in use.

Both of these projects are defunct and are now superseded by the internetarchive/warctools project.
