Answer 1

I built a python module to do exactly this check it out over here. https://pypi.org/project/AttachmentsExtractor/ also the module can be run on any os.

after installing the library use the following code snippet Code:

 from AttachmentsExtractor import extractor
            
 abs_path_to_file='Please provide absolute path here '
 path_to_destination_directory = 'Please provide path of the directory where the extracted attachments should be stored'
 extractor.extract(abs_path_to_file,path_to_destination_directory) # returns true if one or more attachments are found else returns false.
