The uncertainties module (<http://packages.python.org/uncertainties/>)
is now available for 64-bit Python 3.2. I've downloaded
uncertainties-1.8.tar.gz. I need some utility that will handle both
.gz and .tar, I presume. Looking for recommendations.

Thanks for the suggestions. Right after I posted, I 
remembered<http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/freeware.html>, and went with  
Peazip, which did the job.
I am curious about how I could have done this just with  the tarfile module. 
I'll look into that.

Hm. Problem:

import tarfile
tar = tarfile.open("C:\Users\Richard\Desktop\uncertainties-1.8.tar.gz")
   File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes
in position 2-4: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape


use forward slash for file names even in Windows, or you had to escape the backslashes 'C:\\Users\\Richard\\Desktop\\uncertainties-1.8.tar.gz' or use raw string r"C:\Users\Richard\Desktop\uncertainties-1.8.tar.gz"
