Hi, I'm not a big expert on the tarfile component, but I assumed that .tgz files were short for .tar.gz and the format was the same. When I try to extract a .tgz file using tarfile in Python 3.0 on Windows, I get the following error:
File "C:\Python30\lib\tarfile.py", line 1630, in open raise ReadError("file could not be opened successfully") tarfile.ReadError: file could not be opened successfully I'm assuming this is because the .tgz format is not what I think it is and is not supported. How can I extract .tgz files using Python 3.0? Note that I probably can't depend on third party python modules, since I have yet to find many that support Python 3.0. Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
