With this script you are able to unarchive files from your rpa (as to give them to players as bonus presents etc...)
init python:
def unarchive(original_filename, new_filename):
# original_filename is the name the file has when stored in the archive, including any
# leading paths.
# new_filename is the name the file will have when extracted, relative to the base directory.
import os
import os.path
new_filename = config.basedir + "/" + new_filename
dirname = os.path.dirname(new_filename)
if not os.path.exists(dirname):
os.makedirs(dirname)
orig = renpy.file(original_filename)
new = open(new_filename, "wb")
from shutil import copyfileobj
copyfileobj(orig, new)
new.close()

# This will unarchive photo.png as xxx.png from archive to basedir/extracted path
