Hi!

I want to create a bz2 compressed tar file.
Here is my code:
full="/home/test/test.sql"
tar = tarfile.open("test.tar.bz2", "w:bz2")
tarinfo = tar.gettarinfo(full,"blubb.sql")
tar.addfile(tarinfo,file(full))
tar.close()

i think this should work, but the sql file is corrupt:
- the created sql file in the compressed tar has only
4745 Lines, the original file has 4753


Regards,
Chris

Just to identify whether this is a tarfile or bz2 module
related issue:
- Do you have the same problem without compression or with
gzip compression?
- Have you tried compressing your sql file directly with the
bz2 module?

Chris can you attach your sql file (or a small test case) so
we can reproduce the problem?
