Hello!! In using tarfile to group thousands of small files from a directory and then compress it. I already compress a group of files in my pc, but I need do it in a server and I'm testing the same procedure, but it doesn't work . A "ReadError" appear: "not a bzip2 file". I'm using this script:
import os import tarfile dstfolder = '/somepath/to/output' ## server fileorfoldertobackup = '/home/username' ## server dst = '%s.tar.bz2' % os.path.join(dstfolder, os.path.basename(fileorfoldertobackup)) out = tarfile.TarFile.open(dst, 'w:bz2') out.add(fileorfoldertobackup, arcname=os.path.basename(fileorfoldertobackup)) out.close() What I´m doing wrong? Is necesary install a python version into the server?? Thanks!! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
