Error in extracting archive with nested folders

[ronin1770]

I am trying to extract from an archive that has nested folders. Structure is as follows:

meters --- 1 ------- 1.json --- 2 ------- 2.json .... .... ....

I am getting the following error:

Exception in extraction: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '.\meters\128\2022-04-09T00:00:00.json'

Code used is as follows:

import xtarfile as tarfile try: with tarfile.open( tmp_folder + f.filename, 'r:gz') as archive: archive.extractall() except Exception as e: print(f"Exception in extraction: {e}") return "Error in extracting meters.tar.gz "

Python version is:

Python 3.9.5 (tags/v3.9.5:0a7dcbd, May 3 2021, 17:27:52) [MSC v.1928 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Could you provide a sample archive binary file that I can use to reproduce this?

Hm, looks like replying via email and adding attachments doesn’t work. Could you upload it to Google Drive or similar and post a link?
