gettarinfo() expects a real file, not a file-like object.
You have to create your TarInfo manually.
ok... which attributes are mandatory, and which optional?
I recommend that you have a look into the tarfile module's source code.
i will try... but:
$ cat /usr/lib/python2.3/tarfile.py | wc -l
1938
wow! it'll take some time ;-)
The following seems to work:
import sys
import time
import tarfile
import StringIO
sf1 = "first.txt", StringIO.StringIO("one one\n")
sf2 = "second.txt", StringIO.StringIO("two\n")
tf = StringIO.StringIO()
tar = tarfile.open(fileobj=tf , mode="w")
mtime = time.time()
for name, f in [sf1 , sf2]:
ti = tarfile.TarInfo(name)
ti.size = f.len
ti.mtime = mtime
# add more attributes as needed
tar.addfile(ti, f)
sys.stdout.write(tf.getvalue())
