When doing the following with python 2.6.2 on Windows Vista SP1:
>>> import tarfile
>>> tf = tarfile.TarFile("sometarfile.tar.bz2")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
tf = tarfile.TarFile("sometarfile.tar.bz2")
File "C:\Python26\lib\tarfile.py", line 1570, in __init__
self.firstmember = self.next()
File "C:\Python26\lib\tarfile.py", line 2322, in next
raise ReadError(str(e))
ReadError: invalid header
This would, of course, suggest that the file was corrupted, but all
archiving tools (tar, winrar and 7-zip) handle the file without
problems.
Also:
>>> tf = tarfile.TarFile("sometarfile.tar.bz2", "r:bz2")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
tf = tarfile.TarFile("e:/mono/mono-2.4.2.2.tar.bz2", "r:bz2")
File "C:\Python26\lib\tarfile.py", line 1510, in __init__
raise ValueError("mode must be 'r', 'a' or 'w'")
ValueError: mode must be 'r', 'a' or 'w'
which suggests that the compression support is not compiled into the
tarfile module. |
