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 More info (I have debian etch installation): Python 2.4.4 (#2, Apr 16 2008, 17:58:59) [GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)] on linux2 $ tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.16 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

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
