Create TarFile using python

[itzel]

I have a problem. I'm new in python and I need a script that group a
list of files using Tar file utility and then, compress that block
using a compress utility (gzip i think). I already found some
information and i try to apply it, but my scripy doesn't work. The
first problem is when I had tried to open the file that i want to
group, a IO error appear:

f = open(log, "r")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\path"

I previusly asigned to "log" the path of the archive that i want to
group....

could sombody helpme???.

Hi!

This script packs all files and directories inside the ``source_dir``
into the TAR-GZ-Archive (``destination``):
import os.path
import tarfile

def to_tar_gz(source_dir, destination):
"""
:param source_dir: Source directory name.
:param destination: Destination filename.
(TAR-GZ-Archive *.tar.gz)
"""

t = tarfile.open(name = destination, mode = 'w:gz')
t.add(source_dir, os.path.basename(source))
t.close()

return True
Regards,
Gerold

It doesn't show him how to archive a directory.
