[issue5685] use tarinfo module in distutils

2009-04-04 Thread Tarek Ziadé
New submission from Tarek Ziadé ziade.ta...@gmail.com: Currently, Distutils makes a system call to tar files, using the tar command. Let's use Python's tarinfo module, so we don't rely on the tar program anymore. -- assignee: tarek components: Distutils messages: 85384 nosy: tarek
