I generated the tarball using the PEP 101 suggestion, which is the same way I generated the 2.2.3 tarball: tar cf - Python-2.3b2 | gzip -9 > Python-2.3b2.tgz so it's possible there are GNU tar-isms in the file (I don't have access to a non-GNU tar). Did you have a problem with the 2.2.3 tarball? I haven't seen any other reports of problems with either. -Barry
