Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: ralf (indi4source) Assigned to: Lars Gustäbel (gustaebel) Summary: tarfile file names under win32 Initial Comment: the tarfile module uses normpath() to store the file name in the archive. Under win32 this results in pathes with backslashes and possible a leading "\". This confuses the unix tar command. I suppose the following commands instead of just normpath(): path = normpath (path) path = path.replace ("\\", "/") path = path.lstrip ("/") ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gabriel Genellina (gagenellina) Date: 2007-03-23 07:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=479790 Originator: NO tarfile already attempts to manage backslashes well, using os.path.normpath(path).replace(os.sep, "/") Can you provide a small script demonstrating the failure? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1685773&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
