python-geohash-0.2.tar.gz is gzipped twice

Closed this issue · 3 comments

The file at
http://python-geohash.googlecode.com/files/python-geohash-0.2.tar.gz
appears to be gzipped twice. This prevents pip and easy_install from
working with python-geohash, and doing "tar xvfz" manually doesn't work:

$ tar xvfz python-geohash-0.2.tar.gz
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

However, if I gunzip the file first, then "tar xvfz" works:

$ gunzip python-geohash-0.2.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz python-geohash-0.2.tar   
python-geohash-0.2/
...

This is what happens with pip:

$ sudo pip install python-geohash
Downloading/unpacking python-geohash
  Downloading python-geohash-0.2.tar.gz
Exception:
...
  File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/tarfile.

    "file: %s" % e)
ReadError: empty, unreadable or compressed file: invalid literal for int() with 
base
8: ';;\x9c\xdf\xeefu\x95'


And with easy_install:

$ sudo easy_install python-geohash

Thank you for report. I confirmed that the file was mysteriously gzipped twice. 
I 
replaced the file 
http://python-geohash.googlecode.com/files/python-geohash-0.2.tar.gz 
.
