New submission from SunriseProgrammer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The 'tarfile' object make incorrect header blocks. There's a USTAR 'MAGIC' string that's supposed to be followed by a version; that version is supposed to be two '0' (digit zero -- ascii 48) chars with no NUL padding at all.
Python 2.4.3 has it correct. Later versions (e.g., 2.5) are carefully making the field NUL terminated -- but that's wrong; they aren't supposed to be. File History: 'tarfile.py' was correct in version 41340 and incorrect in version 45954 ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 72993 nosy: SunriseProgrammer severity: normal status: open title: Tarfile has incorrect USTAR "VERSION" field (should be 00; is 0 NUL) type: behavior versions: Python 2.4, Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3830> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
