[issue3016] tarfile.py incurs exception from self.chmod() when tarball has g+s
Martin v. Löwis [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: I can't reproduce this. If I do py import tarfile py t=tarfile.open(pyOpenSSL-0.6.tar.gz,r:*) py t.extractall() py it extracts just fine, and sets the s-bits. I've used the file at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pyopenssl/pyOpenSSL-0.6.tar.gz?modtime=1092355200big_mirror=0 -- assignee: - lars.gustaebel nosy: +lars.gustaebel, loewis ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue3016 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue3016] tarfile.py incurs exception from self.chmod() when tarball has g+s
Lars Gustäbel [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: With some effort I could reproduce the problem (on a FAT32 filesystem), but what we have here is clearly a usage problem. In unpack_tarfile() in setuptools/archive_util.py TarFile's internal _extract_member() method is used to extract the contents. For every non-fatal error (like a failing chmod()) _extract_member() raises an ExtractError exception. In TarFile.extract() these ExtractErrors are normally ignored. The unpack_tarfile() function in setuptools needs some fixing, it should either act more like TarFile.extract() or better use the public API. -- resolution: - works for me status: open - closed ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue3016 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue3016] tarfile.py incurs exception from self.chmod() when tarball has g+s
New submission from Zooko O'Whielacronx [EMAIL PROTECTED]: As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyopenssl/+bug/236190 , tarfile.py incurs an Operation not permitted exception (on Mac OS 10.4) when it tries to untar the pyOpenSSL-0.6.tar.gz tarball, because that tarball has directories in it marked as having the g+s bit. (Why this leads to an Operation not permitted exception, I don't know.) -- messages: 67563 nosy: zooko severity: normal status: open title: tarfile.py incurs exception from self.chmod() when tarball has g+s type: behavior ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue3016 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
