New submission from Jan Schatz <jan.sch...@hms-networks.com>:
I have a tar gz archive that fails to be extracted via tarfile.extractall(). By adding some debug code I found that at some point InvalidHeaderError is raised inside tarfile.next(). But the function just swallows the exception, because the offset isn't 0 (see https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/5368c2b6e23660cbce7e38dc68f859c66ac349ee/Lib/tarfile.py#L2334). Why does the function behave like this? I would expect an except rather than silently stopping extraction if the archive is damaged. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 378934 nosy: jan.schatz priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Why does tarfile.next swallow InvalidHeaderError type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42079> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
