New submission from Vinay Sajip:
The attached file failing.tar.gz contains a path with UTF-8-encoded Unicode.
This causes extractall() to fail, but only when the destination path is
Unicode. That's because it leads to a implicit str->unicode conversion using
ASCII.
Test script:
import shutil, tarfile, tempfile
tf = tarfile.open('failing.tar.gz', 'r:gz')
workdir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
try:
# N.B. ensure dest path is Unicode to trigger the failure
tf.extractall(unicode(workdir))
finally:
shutil.rmtree(workdir)
Result:
$ python untar.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "untar.py", line 8, in <module>
tf.extractall(unicode(workdir))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/tarfile.py", line 2046, in extractall
