[issue13477] tarfile module should have a command line
Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I think Berker has misunderstood me. Here is a patch based on issue13477_v5.diff with some cherry-picked changes from issue13477_v6.diff and several other changes: * --create, --extract, --list, and --test options are now mutual exclusive. * --test now test a tarfile for integrity (as in the zipfile module). * File names in output are printed now with repr(). * Now tarfile CLI now is silent by default. Added option -v (--verbose) to print more verbose output as in issue13477_v5.diff. * Added helps for arguments. * Fixed and enhanced tests, I'm going to commit this patch at short time. Known bugs: * Help for --extract shows --extract tarfile [output_dir ...] instead of --extract tarfile [output_dir]. --extract accepts only 1 to 2 arguments. * --list fails with a tarfile containing unencodable file names. In particular it fails with test tarfiles in the test suite. * Possible problems with unusual locales and file system encodings. * Corrupted tarfiles produces tracebacks. * Tests for --create should check that created tarfile contains correct files. * Tests for --create should check that correct files are extracted. * Needed tests for non-ASCII file names. Besides all this I think the patch can be committed. -- stage: patch review - commit review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file32795/tarfile_cli.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13477 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

On the other hand, it chooses explicitly not to. I guess tar knows explicit is better than implicit too ;-) I am told that the refusal of tar to introspect the data is because: (a) Tar runs gunzip -c (for example) as an external program; it does not actually compile against libz. (b) Streams in UNIX cannot be rewound. Tar cannot look at the first block of an input pipe and then put the block back so that the same input can be fed directly to gunzip as its input. (c) Given (a) and (b), tar could only support data introspection of input from a pipe if it were willing to be a pass-through that, after reading and introspecting the first block, then fired up gunzip and sent ALL of the blocks through. Which would require multiprocessing, threading, or async I/O so that tar could both read and write, which would make tar more complicated. (d) Therefore, tar refuses to even look. Since Python does bundle compression in its standard library, it can quite trivially step forward and actually do the data introspection that tar insists on not doing; the first few bytes of a tar archive are quite demonstrably different from the first bytes of a gzip stream, if I recall. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13477 ___ -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13477 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue13477] tarfile module should have a command line
Lars Gustäbel added the comment: I'd like to re-emphasize that it is best to keep the whole thing as simple and straight-forward as possible. Offer some basic operations and that's it. Although I am pretty accustomed to the original tar command line, I think we should copy zipfile's interface. It makes more sense to offer some kind of unified Python command line approach for archive access than keeping to old traditions. I agree with Victor that we don't really need support for stdin/stdout. It only complicates matters. If everybody still votes for stdin/stdout, I'd like to point out that tarfile supports compression detection for streams. It would be best to use mode=r|* throughout because it works for both normal files and stdin. Use mode=w|(compression) for writing to files and stdout accordingly. If we do not support stdin/stdout we no longer need all these compression options because for reading we do autodetection and for writing we could deduce the compression from the file extension (which is just some kind of autodetection too). Another side note: We should be aware of the effects discussed in issue17102 and issue1044. In my opinion tarfile as a library is obligated to behave like that, but maybe that's not acceptable for a command line tool. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13477 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue13477] tarfile module should have a command line
Larry Hastings added the comment: Modern tar programs don't need to be told the compression method--they infer it. If they can do it in C, we can do it in Python. So we should simply omit the -bz2 stuff. As for what the interface should look like, I'm definitely in favor of it looking like tar. unzip has the same interface on different platforms; so does 7zip, so does unrar. I think it's reasonable to expect that tar would take the same interface on different platforms. We don't need to coddle Windows users here. We're already expecting them to be sophisticated enough to handle the EOL conversion we're not doing for them. -- nosy: +larry ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13477 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13477] tarfile module should have a command line
Éric Araujo added the comment: Users of the TAR format usually come from UNIX, so using the same command line options should not be so surprising. Not sure about that: they could be Python users wanting to unpack a tarball sdist. That said, there is no harm in being compatible, and I like your small list of options. FTR Lars said that he prefered compat with the zipfile CLI, which is: Usage: zipfile.py -l zipfile.zip# Show listing of a zipfile zipfile.py -t zipfile.zip# Test if a zipfile is valid zipfile.py -e zipfile.zip target # Extract zipfile into target dir zipfile.py -c zipfile.zip src ... # Create zipfile from sources -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13477 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13477] tarfile module should have a command line
Éric Araujo added the comment: Yeah, that’s always the discussion when writing a Python utility that has a unix equivalent: do you want to be familiar to Python users or to the unix tool users? I don’t have a strong opinion. I think unix users would have no reason to use python -m tarfile, and windows users won’t have the expectation that the interface is the same as tar—unless they are unix people who are using a windows machine for whatever reason. If it were me, I’d just start with python -m tarfile --help, so I’d have no expectations :) -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13477 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue13477] tarfile module should have a command line
STINNER Victor added the comment:
+parser.add_argument('--gz', '--gunzip', '--gzip', '--tgz', '-z',
+'--ungzip', action = 'store_true',
+help = 'gz compression')
+parser.add_argument('--bz2', '--bzip2', '--tbz2', '--tbz', '--tb2',
+action = 'store_true', help = 'bz2 compression')
+parser.add_argument('--xz', '--lzma', action = 'store_true',
+help = 'xz compression')
Do we really need so much names for the same option? Where do these names come
from?
--
main() should exit after extract and create to only do one operation and don't
always display the usage.
It would be better to not duplicate the list of options and use
parser.print_help() instead of sys.stdout.write(__doc__).
Some consistency tests on exclusive options (bzip/gzip/lzma and
list/create/extract) would be nice.
--
tar options on Linux:
-c, --create
-t, --list
-x, --extract, --get
-z, --gzip, --ungzip
-j, -I, --bzip
-C, --directory DIRECTORY
For tarfile, I propose to have a shorter list, and try to stay somehow
compatible with tar:
-c, --create
-t, --list
-x, --extract
-z, --gzip
-j, --bzip
-C, --directory DIRECTORY
Users of the TAR format usually come from UNIX, so using the same command line
options should not be so surprising.
I don't like the idea of an optional argument for --extract: --extract file1
file2 is usually understood/read as --extract=filename archive.tar. If you
really think that we need to support only extract some files, it should be a
different option. Linux tar command has no such option. I propose to drop this
feature (always extract all files).

[issue13477] tarfile module should have a command line
Lars Gustäbel l...@gustaebel.de added the comment: This is no bad idea. I recommend keeping it as simple as possible. I would definitely not be supportive of a full tar clone. List, extract, create - that should be enough. There are two possible command line choices: do what the zipfile module does or emulate tar. I am in favor of the latter. -- assignee: - lars.gustaebel priority: normal - low stage: test needed - needs patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13477 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13477] tarfile module should have a command line
New submission from Brandon Craig Rhodes bran...@rhodesmill.org: The tarfile module should have a simple command line that allows it to be executed with -m — even if its only ability was to take a filename and extract it to the current directory, it could be a lifesaver on Windows machines where Python has been installed but nothing else. Would such a patch be welcome if I could write one up? -- messages: 148300 nosy: brandon-rhodes priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: tarfile module should have a command line ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13477 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ezio Melotti ezio.melo...@gmail.com added the comment: The feature request seems reasonable to me, but this can only go in 3.3. If you want to propose a patch, you might want to check the devguide and what other modules like zipfile do. -- nosy: +ezio.melotti, lars.gustaebel stage: - test needed type: - feature request versions: +Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13477 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
