New submission from Matthias Klose <d...@debian.org>: GNU tar now supports lzma compression as a compression method. Please consider adding lzma support to the tarfile module (either by using the external lzma program or by adding a lzma extension to the standard library).
lzma extension at http://svn.fancycode.com/repos/python/pylzma/trunk/ lzma is used in many tools (7zip, dpkg, rpm), offers faster decompression than bzip2, slower compression than gzip and bzip2. ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 85403 nosy: doko severity: normal status: open title: please support lzma compression as an extension and in the tarfile module type: feature request _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5689> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
