Message 95489 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

The TarFile constructor (as well as tarfile.open) takes an errorlevel keyword argument. See http://docs.python.org/dev/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-objects

I quote: "If errorlevel is 0, all errors are ignored when using TarFile.extract(). Nevertheless, they appear as error messages in the debug output, when debugging is enabled. If 1, all fatal errors are raised as OSError or IOError exceptions. If 2, all non-fatal errors are raised as TarError exceptions as well."

Hope that helps.
