I was wondering if it possible to specify a compression level when I
tar/gzip a file in Python using the tarfile module. I would like to
specify the highest (9) compression level for gzip.
Ideally:
t = tarfile.open(tar_file_name+'.tar.gz', mode='w:gz:9')

Looking at the tarfile docs, it seems that there are tarfile.gzopen
and tarfile.bz2open functions that have a compresslevel parameter that
defaults to 9. You can't append using those functions but you can read
and write.
Hi Benjamin,
I can't find tarfile.gzopen in the tarfile docs, I'm looking here:
http://docs.python.org/library/tarfile.html
Am I looking at the wrong page?
Thanks,
Esmail
