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 ("/")

Sorry, I was using an derived class of TarFile and didn't realize that
tarfile has defined its own
normpath() function.
When using tarfile.normpath() in my class it is working, too.

tarfile already attempts to manage backslashes well, using
os.path.normpath(path).replace(os.sep, "/")
Can you provide a small script demonstrating the failure?
