Hello, I am trying to extract a tar file. while doing this i check the valid tar file using is_tarfile( ). It is working fine in a 32-bit linux machine with python 2.5.4 version and when i try it out in a 64-bit linux pc, i end up saying file is invalid(false). This machine was using python 2.4 and now i have upgraded to 2.5.4 version and I am using python 2.5.4.
I went through the library file, tarfile.py and found in is_tarfile(), is opening the tarfile using tarfile.open. >>>tar = /root/testtar.tar.gz >>> import tarfile >>> tarfile.is_tarfile(tar) False >>> tarfile.open(tar) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/tarfile.py", line 1153, in open raise ReadError("file could not be opened successfully") tarfile.ReadError: file could not be opened successfully Can anyone please help me -- Thanks & Regards V.Murugadoss _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
