New submission from gerhard_xXx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
hi,
seems like tarfile module for python 2.4 is broken.
If I open the attached dir.tar.gz (tried it on different machines) then
tarfile module only displays a part of the contents.
what I did:
>>> import tarfile
>>> f = tarfile.open('dir.tar.gz','r:gz')
>>> f.getnames()
getnames() only returns the files/directories in the dir.tar.gz that
start with letter "a-j" and skips the rest???!!
cheers gerhard
