script extract tar file containg file same name

[danjde]

Hi friends!

I've fixed an tarball damaged and now obtain many file with the same name into;

I tried to create a script based on a previous originally based on the "zipfile" module:

original:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys
import tarfile

count = 0

t = tarfile.TarFile(sys.argv[1],"r")

for info in t.infolist():
    directory = str(count)
    os.makedirs(directory)
    t.extract(info,directory)
    count += 1

t.close()

modified:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import sys
import tarfile

count = 0

t = tarfile.TarFile(sys.argv[1],"r")

for info in t.infolist():
    directory = str(count)
    os.makedirs(directory)
    t.extract(info,directory)
    count += 1

t.close()

but obtain error becouse the tarfile has not the attribute "infolist"

how i could change correctly the script for the tarfile module?

many many thanks!

The first and the second code sample are basically the same, except some whitespaces? Have you mis-posted something?

Hoops! Sorry, this is the unmodified script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import sys
import zipfile

count = 0

z = zipfile.ZipFile(sys.argv[1],"r")

for info in z.infolist():
    directory = str(count)
    os.makedirs(directory)
    z.extract(info,directory)
    count += 1

z.close()

well, tar and zip files are handled differently in python. what I mean is, that the python api simply differs. you'll have to adapt the script a bit more than that.
