Hello!
I'm new to Python, so I decided to learn it and write simple apt alternativ=
e (apt is somewhat broken for me).
But I can't decide - can I read just one file (/DEBIAN/control) from archiv=
e without unpacking it, or do I need to unpack? And what module I can use t=
o handle .ar files? (I read in Wikipedia that .deb is just .ar archive with=
 specific structure)

Sincerely, =E3=83=B4=EF=BD=A1
