thanks for the advice. much appreciated.
I hacked out a script borrowing from Massimo's fine fileutils.py
i copied that file and added this to the top of it:
from datetime import date
and this to the end and i call it and it does what i need, sure is
ugly though, only a parent could love:
def marksuntar():
# change the next line to the file you want to unzip to see you got it
all so you can get a warm and fuzzy
tar = tarfile.open('c:/backup/backup3.tar')
tar.extractall(path='c:/backup/', )
tar.close()
def markstar():
expression='^.+$'
dir = 'C:/Users/mark/Documents/_web2py9_28/src/web2py_src/web2pyc/
applications/'
try:
os.makedirs('c:/backup/', 0777)
except EnvironmentError:
pass
d = str(date.today())
tar = tarfile.open('c:/backup/backup' + d +'.tar', "w")
for file in listdir(dir, add_dirs=True):
tar.add(os.path.join(dir, file), file, False)
tar.add('C:\\Users\\mark\\Documents\\_web2py9_28\\src\\web2py_src\
\web2pyc\\app.yaml')
tar.add('C:\\Users\\mark\\Documents\\_web2py9_28\\src\\web2py_src\
\web2pyc\\routes.py')
tar.close()
markstar()
