Sridhar Ratnakumar <sridh...@activestate.com> added the comment: Considering this bug where tarfile fails to set g+s,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyopenssl/+bug/236190 a more general approach could be: tarfile.extractall(safe_perms=True) where if safe_perms is set, tarfile can 1) ignore +/-s on all files, 2) ignore u-x on directories and 3) ignore u-r on files. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6196> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
