I don't see the path you mention. Which archive manager do you use? I tried with 7-zip, and it shows that I can browse to a path named C:\testtarfile\tarfiletst.tar.gz\C:\testtarfile\tarfiletst.tar\test\ which contains testtarfile.py. C:\testtarfile\tarfiletst.tar.gz contains "C:\testtarfile\tarfiletst.tar", which itselfs contains "test\testtarfile.py" IOW, 7-zip simply fails to understand the .tar.gz format as a single compressed archive. To extract it properly, it's easy enough to browse the content until you open the content of the .tar. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5500> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
