Lars Gustäbel <l...@gustaebel.de> added the comment: Thanks for the report. The problem is in fact easy to reproduce. _BZ2Proxy hangs if it is passed a file object with either no data or with a partial bzipped file. For example try:
tarfile.open(mode="r:bz2", fileobj=StringIO.StringIO()) I will create a decent fix for that problem, but not before next week. I am too busy doing other important stuff ATM. ---------- versions: +Python 3.0, Python 3.1 -Python 2.4, Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5068> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
