[Tutor] tarfile +stdin

[Martin Marcher]

Hello,




>>> import tarfile
>>> tbz = tarfile.open(name="tarfile.tar.bz2", mode="w:bz2")
>>> tbz.add("myfile.dmp")
>>> for tarinfo in tbz:
...     print tarinfo.name
...
myfile.dmp
>>>

Now how would I open stdin to add files to this tarball?

>>> import sys
>>> tbz.add(sys.stdin)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    and os.path.abspath(name) == os.path.abspath(self.name):

    if not isabs(path):

    return s.startswith('/')
AttributeError: 'file' object has no attribute 'startswith'

happy about all hints
thanks
martin

I'm trying to create a backup script which in one of the last steps is to create a tarball that is possibly gzipped or bzipped2.
