# UnityPackage Extractor
#
# Extracts files/folders from a .unitypackage file, reading the 'pathname'
# files it contains to rebuild a "readable" file/folder structure.
#
# Usage: extractunitypackage.py input_file [output_path]
#
# "input_file" should be a .unitypackage file. The part of the filename
# before the extension will be used as the name of the directory that the 
# packages contents will be extracted to.
#
# "output_path" is an optional path where the package's files will be
# extracted to. If omitted, the current working directory is used. If
# specified, the path should already exist.

# Update (by Entwicklerpages): Simple fixes for python3 support. Now works on both versions.
