Hi, Good Morning. 1. This is regarding installing python in 64-bit linux pc. one of the issue, which we were talking earlier. It was recommended to install python with 32-bit gcc compiler in 64-bit m/c. step: while installing python in 64-bit m/c, try using export CC='gcc -m32' ./configure --prefix = "installing directory" ; make ; make install
2. coming to extracting tarfile : I am able to extract a *.tar file using tarfile.extractall( ) .The same when i try extracting *.tar.gz,check tarfile.is_tarfile( ) returning false. On debugging, i found in ../lib/tarfile.py + 1148 (open function) where it checks the file type and returns the file attributes is failing. Exactly telling " *return func(name, "r", fileobj)* " This line is failing or returning none. This happens only in 64-bit linux m/c. It is working in 32-bit linux and windows m/c. 3.on other Method, i open the file using tarfile.open(*.tar.gz,"r:gz"). I am getting an error as "ImportError: No module named zlib". >>import tarfile >>tarfile.open("*.tar.gz","r:gz") ImportError: No module named zlib complete error text ill post, once i reach office. 4. currently i am using, os.path.isfile("*.tar.gz") os.system("tar -C [some directory] -xvf *.tar.gz") Any input on these issues will be very helpful.
