Using single quotes can help you too:

win32api.WinExec('cmd.exe /c rar.exe x -o+ -p12345pass temp.rar \"%Localappdata%\\Temp\\\"',0)

And probably you don't even need the cmd.exe /c. I believe it can be run just: win32api.WinExec('rar.exe ... or os.system('rar.exe ...

Use one antislash before each quotes

win32api.WinExec("cmd.exe /c rar.exe x -o+ -p12345pass temp.rar \"%Localappdata%\\Temp\\\"",0)
