[Tutor] untar ?

[ledirach@free.fr]

Hi.

You may wanna try the tarfile module at http://www.gustaebel.de/lars/tarfile/

Still experimental, but I use it to tar files (not untarring 'em yet), and it 
works well. Same commands and interface that the zipfile standard module.

BTW: hello to all list members. I've only been snooping around for a while, but 
it teach a lot already :-)
