altho i cannot help you with your original query, i *can* tell you that the reason why you get the error is that add() expects a filename (not a file object). i think that you have to create a TarInfo object and use the addfile() method instead but can't confirm that. anyone else know? thanks, -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
