Wrapper around tarfile to add support for more compression formats.
First, install the library with the tarfile compression formats you wish to support. The example below shows an install for zstandard tarfile support.
.. sourcecode :: bash
pip install xtarfile[zstd]
You can now use the xtarfile module in the same way as the standard library tarfile module:
.. sourcecode :: python
import xtarfile as tarfile
with tarfile.open('some-archive', 'w:zstd') as archive:
archive.add('a-file.txt')
with tarfile.open('some-archive', 'r:zstd') as archive:
archive.extractall()
Alternatively, detecting the correct compression module based on the file extensions is also supported:
.. sourcecode :: python
import xtarfile as tarfile
with tarfile.open('some-archive.tar.zstd', 'w') as archive:
archive.add('a-file.txt')
with tarfile.open('some-archive.tar.zstd', 'r') as archive:
archive.extractall()
Install the project's dependencies with :code:pip install .[zstd]
.
Run the tests via :code:python3 setup.py test
.
