[Scons-users] Is there a pure-python tar builder?

[Daniel Holth]

I love reduced parallelism. Anything wrong with writing my own tar builder env
= Environment(tools=['python_tar']) to overwrite the stock
env['BUILDERS']['Tar'] with my own pure Python version? The Python tar
builder will work on any platform and produce exactly the PAX format tar
files I want with configurable permissions & file timestamps. Then
hopefully it will work with the packaging tool which already does 95% of
what I need. Either that or add my new type to SCons.Tool.packaging.__all__
