Alternatively, you can directly get the pre-compiled binaries for Linux 64-bit from ActiveState (where I work): http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads > 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.

Ok. > Exactly > telling " *return func(name, "r", fileobj)* " This line is failing [...] If it is failing, put a `print` statement in the next `except` block and print the exception msg. Something like: try: return func(name, "r", fileobj) except (ReadError, CompressionError), e: print e if fileobj is not None: fileobj.seek(saved_pos) continue >[...] or returning none. No. What is the clear is that at least one of the calls to `func(name, "r", fileobj)` is not returning at all, thus raising an exception. Otherwise, you will not get this error you mentioned earlier: `tarfile.ReadError: file could not be opened successfully`. So find out the exception message raised by `func(name, "r", fileobj)` for one of the open calls. > 3.on other Method, > i open the file using tarfile.open(*.tar.gz,"r:gz").
