[issue8978] "tarfile.ReadError: file could not be opened successfully" if compiled without zlib
Kevin Funk added the comment: I just ran into this, under Python 3.6. IMHO, the error message should be improved, even when the mode was not passed explicitly. Can someone reopen this? -- nosy: +kfunk ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue8978> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Kevin Funk added the comment: It's Python 3.6 from CentOS 6. In my particular case I'm lacking the lzma module. But for figuring that out I had to add the explicit modes to the `tarfile.open` calls in my Python script. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue8978> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Kevin Funk added the comment: (Sorry: I just noticed the Python 3.6 I'm using is /not/ from distro packages. The issue remains, though, the Python exception could be more descriptive.) -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue8978> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
