# First you construct a file object with makefile.
fo = socket.makefile()
# Then you use the fileobj argument with tarfile.open.
tarfile.open(mode='r', fileobj = fo)
I have:
sock = socket.create_connection((server,port))
bs = kB64
taro = tarfile.open(fileobj=sock.makefile('w',kB64),mode='w')
Traceback (most recent call last):
(...)
File "./fexit.py", line 1838, in sex_send
taro = tarfile.open(fileobj=sock.makefile('w',kB64),mode='w')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/tarfile.py", line 1695, in open
return cls.taropen(name, mode, fileobj, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/tarfile.py", line 1705, in taropen
return cls(name, mode, fileobj, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/tarfile.py", line 1566, in __init__
self.offset = self.fileobj.tell()
AttributeError: '_fileobject' object has no attribute 'tell'
I suppose you could write your own class to wrap the socket and provide
the required methods.
