hi,
seems like tarfile module for python 2.4 is broken.
If I open the attached dir.tar.gz (tried it on different machines) then
tarfile module only displays a part of the contents.
what I did:
>>> import tarfile
>>> f = tarfile.open('dir.tar.gz','r:gz')
>>> f.getnames()
getnames() only returns the files/directories in the dir.tar.gz that
start with letter "a-j" and skips the rest???!!
cheers gerhard

The bug is fixed in Python 2.5. Since Python 2.6 was released the 1st October, why not upgrading to 2.6 or at least 2.5? |

This is a known bug in Python 2.4's tarfile version (cp. issue1509889 and issue1719898). It was fixed in Python 2.5. Thank you anyway for your report. |
