[Python] Is there a way to read an .egp file without using SAS Entreprise Guide?

I want to scan using Python a folder containing hundreds of .sas and .egp files.
The .sas files are not a problem since I can simply read them like that :

with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='latin-1') as f:
...


But since .egp files do not allow this technique, I use this function to extract the scripts from the archive so that I can then read them:

def extract_sas_scripts_from_egp(file_path):
scripts = []
extraction_dir = file_path.replace('.egp', '_extracted')

# Reset Extraction Folder
if os.path.exists(extraction_dir):
for file in os.listdir(extraction_dir):
os.remove(os.path.join(extraction_dir, file))
else:
os.makedirs(extraction_dir)

# Extract .sas files from the archive
with zipfile.ZipFile(file_path, 'r') as archive:
for file_info in archive.infolist():
if file_info.filename.endswith(".sas"):
extracted_path = os.path.join(extraction_dir, os.path.basename(file_info.filename))
with archive.open(file_info) as sas_file:
content = sas_file.read().decode('latin-1')
scripts.append((content, extracted_path))
with open(extracted_path, 'w', encoding='latin-1') as f:
f.write(content)
return scripts


My problem is that the generated "_extracted" folder seems to contain only the first .sas script, leaving out all the others I also need.

Questions :

1. Do you know why my script gives this result and how I can make sure to see all my scripts?
2. Do you know any other method to read .egp files?

Thank you!
