How are files added to a tar file using Python?
Use the tarfile module to create a zip archive of a directory. Walk the directory tree using os.walk and add all the files in it recursively.
For example
import os
import tarfile
def tardir(path, tar_name):
with tarfile.open(tar_name, "w:gz") as tar_handle:
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
for file in files:
tar_handle.add(os.path.join(root, file))
tardir('./my_folder', 'sample.tar.gz')
tar.close()The above code will compress the contents of my_folder in a file 'sample.tar.gz'. and store it in the current directory.
