Martin Panter <vadmium...@gmail.com> added the comment: Perhaps you can compress the tar file using the “gzip.GzipFile” class. It accepts a custom “mtime” parameter (see Issue 4272, added in 2.7 and 3.1+):
>>> gztar = BytesIO() >>> tar = GzipFile(fileobj=gztar, mode="w", mtime=0) >>> tarfile.open(fileobj=tar, mode="w|").close() >>> tar.close() >>> gztar.getvalue().hex() '1f8b08000000000002ffedc1010d000000c2a0f74f6d0e37a00000000000000000008037039ade1d2700280000' However, “tarfile.open” accepts a “compresslevel” argument for two of the compressors, so you could argue it is okay to add another argument to pass to the gzip compressor. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31526> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
