New submission from Michael Birtwell: If you partially iterate over a tarfile then try and restart iteration of that tarfile it will continue from where it left off rather than restarting from the beginning.
I've only tried this with the tarfile implementation in python 2.7 but the 3.x code looks the same in this respect. I've included a patch with my approach to fixing this. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: fix-tarfile-restart-iteration.patch keywords: patch messages: 176863 nosy: mbirtwell priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Restarting iteration over tarfile continues from where it left off. versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file28200/fix-tarfile-restart-iteration.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16601> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
