Create TarFile using python

[itzel]

I have a problem. I'm new in python and I need a script that group a
list of files using Tar file utility and then, compress that block
using a compress utility (gzip i think). I already found some
information and i try to apply it,  but my scripy doesn't work. The
first problem is when I had tried to open the file that i want to
group, a IO error appear:

f = open(log, "r")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\path"

I previusly asigned to "log" the path of the archive that i want to
group

could sombody helpme???.

ReadError, "not a bzip2 file"

[itzel]

Hello!!
In using tarfile to group thousands of small files from a directory and
then compress it. I already compress a group of files in my pc, but I
need do it in a server and I'm testing the same procedure, but it
doesn't work . A "ReadError" appear: "not a bzip2 file". I'm using this
script:

import os
import tarfile

dstfolder = '/somepath/to/output'## server
fileorfoldertobackup = '/home/username'  ##  server
dst = '%s.tar.bz2' % os.path.join(dstfolder,
os.path.basename(fileorfoldertobackup))
out = tarfile.TarFile.open(dst, 'w:bz2')
out.add(fileorfoldertobackup,
arcname=os.path.basename(fileorfoldertobackup))
out.close()

What I´m doing wrong? Is necesary install a python version into the
server??

Thanks!!
