Hi Jim,

Remember that Python comes with batteries.  So the standard library generally 
provides the tools you need.  Try the following short script to unzip a file 
named 'filename.tar.gz'

import tarfile
tar = tarfile.open('filename.tar.gz')
tar.extractall()
tar.close()

Hi Jacob,

So you're saying that I should get the source then? Do you know if WinZip can 
handle tar files?

 

Thanks.

 

Jim

All I can really say, since haven't used that library/repository as such - if 
that's what it is, is that generally, to install a module for later use, 
something along the lines of the following command will install it under python 
itself - run from the extracted directory, where there is then a setup.py file:

python setup.py install

  Hi,

  I have Python 2.7.3. I seem to be reading conflicting information about how 
to go to Pypi and find and install packages. I'm using Windows. Can anyone 
point to straight forward information about this?

   

  Thanks.

   

  Jim
