My tar.gz is created in Linux.

I am trying to extract in windows using python3. I use this following program.

import tarfile archive_name = "adcnsaup01-20170720.tar.gz" def recover(name):     return str(name) tar = tarfile.open(name=archive_name, mode='r', bufsize=16*1024) updated = [] for m in tar.getmembers():     m.name = recover(m.name)     updated.append(m) tar.extractall(members=updated) tar.close() 

Printing the members “updated” , lists down all the contents on the tar.gz But extract all does not extract 🙁

Tried even this program:

import tarfile tfilemember = [] filen = "adcnsaup01-techdata-20170720.tar.gz" tar11 = tarfile.open(filen, "r:gz") for tarinfo in tar11:     tfilemember.append(tarinfo.name)     print (tarinfo.name, "is", tarinfo.size, "bytes in size and is", end = "")     if tarinfo.isreg():         print ("a regular file.")     elif tarinfo.isdir():         print ("a directory.")     else:         print ("something else.") tar11.extractall(path="D:\outdir\try1") 

Prints the list of files if it is a diectory or file. but doesnot extract 🙁 Any idea why?
