Further, on debug i got to know in tarfile.py (library file) function open( ) (Line 1147) where it is return the file attributes is failing, I am not able to make out the exact reason, why it is failing in 64-bit M/c , but the same is working in 32-bit M/c
I have attached the part code with the mail, File: tarfile.py Line:1147 if mode in ("r", "r:*"): # Find out which *open() is appropriate for opening the file. for comptype in cls.OPEN_METH: func = getattr(cls, cls.OPEN_METH[comptype]) print "func",func if fileobj is not None: saved_pos = fileobj.tell() try: print "func1",func(name, "r", fileobj) return func(name, "r", fileobj) except (ReadError, CompressionError): if fileobj is not None: fileobj.seek(saved_pos) continue raise ReadError("file could not be opened successfully") I have added few prints for debugging, please ignore it. output : tarfile.is_tarfile(tar) func <bound method type.gzopen of <class 'tarfile.TarFile'>> func1 func <bound method type.taropen of <class 'tarfile.TarFile'>> func1 func <bound method type.bz2open of <class 'tarfile.TarFile'>> func1 False As u can see, the "func(name, "r", fileobj)", is returning none. The same test output in 32bit Mc: tarfile.is_tarfile(tar) func <bound method type.gzopen of <class 'tarfile.TarFile'>> func1 <tarfile.TarFile object at 0xb7f028ac> True Any information on this will be very useful. If i am wrong. Please correct me Thank u -- Thanks & Regards V.Murugadoss On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 2:57 PM, murugadoss <murugadoss2...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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).
