New submission from Eric Andresen: The tarfile.TarFile.extractall() method is [by default] silently failing to set directory permissions and times on all but the lexically-latest directory extracted. This is due to an unintentional re-use of the 'path' variable.
The provided patch renames the second 'path' variable to 'dirpath' which resolves the problem. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: python-tarfile-extractall-fix.patch messages: 59219 nosy: eandres severity: normal status: open title: tarfile.TarFile.extractall not setting directory permissions correctly versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9056/python-tarfile-extractall-fix.patch __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1735> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
