Lars Gustäbel added the comment: I don't have an idea how to make it easier and still meet all/most requirements and without cluttering up the api. The way it currently works allows the programmer to control every tiny aspect of a tar member. Maybe it's best to simply add a new entry to the Examples section of the tarfile documentation.
import tarfile, io with tarfile.open("sample.tar", mode="w") as tar: t = tarfile.TarInfo("foo") t.type = tarfile.DIRTYPE tar.addfile(t) b = "Hello world!".encode("ascii") t = tarfile.TarInfo("foo/bar") t.size = len(b) tar.addfile(t, io.BytesIO(b)) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22208> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
