Why are you trying to open a tar file using Python first in a 32-bit and then on a 64-bit machine ? Can we have some background ? Otherwise this looks like a pretty weird exercise to me. Tar files are platform agnostic. Otherwise, you would have a nightmare opening tar files downloaded from the internet. A tar file created in 32 bit Linux should open in 64 bit Linux and vice-verza. Most probably the file got corrupted when you copied (or downloaded ?) it to the 32 bit machine. Try this on ur machines - they should print the same value. >>> import binascii >>> data = open(tar, 'rb').read() >>> binascii.crc32(data) Also, try an md5 checksum. >>> import hashlib >>> m=hashlib.md5() >>> m.update(data) >>> m.hexdigest() '5b603d8b5dbf6004d802efc4dedac68c' > > -- --Anand _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
