New submission from Ian Laughlin <ilaugh...@novetta.com>:
Recommend adding example to tarfile documentation to provide example of writing a tarfile to stdout. example: files = [(file_1, filename_1), (file_2, filename_2)] with tarfile.open(fileobj=sys.stdout.buffer, mode = 'w|gz') as tar: for file, filename in files: file_obj = io.BytesIO() #starts a BytesIO object file_obj.write(file.encode('utf-8')) #writes the file to the BytesIO object info = tarfile.TarInfo(filename) #creates the TarInfo file_obj.seek(0) #goes to the beginning of the BytesIO object else it won't write info.size = len(file) #sets the length of the file tar.addfile(info, fileobj=file_obj) #writes the tar to stdout. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 381665 nosy: docs@python, ilaughlin priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Tarfile to stdout documentation example versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42442> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
