Ok, this is a neat idea... The uu module deals with files though, not strings. Is there a way in python to make a string act like a file handle?
Example: my_string = "uu-encoded-stuf......" my_out_file_handle = ?? # What should this variable look like? import uu uu.decode(my_string, my_out_file_handle) import tarfile tarfile.open(my_out_file_handle) Thanks again, --Steve ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
