I disabled the long path support on my own build and can reproduce this by passing a long path to --tempdir Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with what tarfile is trying to do here - why is it recreating the entire directory structure within itself? Browsing through lib/tarfile.py, I suspect it's the mix of "/" literals and os.path functions that's at fault here. It probably requires a much bigger job to go through and fix it up than simply fixing tests. ---------- components: +Windows nosy: +paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37528> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
