not python related, but in order to creater the tarball without the .DS_Store
files why don't you use the --exclude=PATTERN option from tar ??

I don't think that deleting the .DS_Store files is the
right approach to this, for various reasons:

Hi Ben. I hadn't realize that walk was just giving the file name so the

Ah. You didn't mention a traceback earlier, so I assumed the code was

My apologies Ben. I should have included the traceback in my message.
The last line of the traceback I get from python when it gets to

The traceback occurs immediately after printing:
Current File: .DS_Store

Hi Ben. Sorry about the cut and paste job into my email. It is part of a
larger script. It is actually all tabbed. This will give you a better idea:
for f in file_names:

print 'Current File: %s' % c

It looks like your indentation is off. From what you posted, the
"print" line is prepended with
