Could not extract TIF.gz file
Question: The TIF.gz file downloaded from the link below can be successfully extracted
by WinRAR GUI mode manually.

<ftp://ftp.glcf.umd.edu/glcf/QuickBird/02AUG15032744-X2AS_R1C1-000000185959_01_P005-Indonesia-
Ujong/02AUG15032744-M2AS_R1C1-000000185959_01_P005.TIF.gz>

However, it could not extract using programming mode using Python. But the
similiar method below can extract other tar.gz files:

    
    
    import subprocess
    win_rar = 'C:\\Program Files\\WinRAR\\UnRAR.exe'
    tif_gz_file = 'D:\\source\\02AUG15032744-M2AS_R1C1-000000185959_01_P005.TIF.gz'
    subprocess.call([win_rar, 'x', tif_gz_file, 'D:\\target\\'])
    

Any idea would be highly appreciated. I also tried the similiar procesure
using 7-Zip, it also did not. I want to extract it using a program. Please
help me.


Answer: You need to change this:

    
    
    win_rar = 'C:\\Program Files\\WinRAR\\UnRAR.exe'
    

to this:

    
    
    win_rar = 'C:\\Program Files\\WinRAR\\WinRAR.exe'
    

I ran your code successfully with this change (after reproducing your error).
