Same here, because that's what I used. I looked through the settings but didn't see anything. What seems to happen is that 7-Zip recognizes the .gz extension and opens that automatically. But then that simply opens up another window with the .tar file in it, which you have to then open again. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
