How to correctly add all the files from the current folder to the archive?
Read the manual, found 2 ways.
The question is, is there a better way?
Or something like this tar.addall

1st method

import tarfile tar = tarfile.open("tar/sample.tar.gz", "w:gz") for name in ["./"]: tar.add(name) tar.close()

2nd way

 import tarfile import subprocess subprocess.call('python3 -m tarfile -c tar/sample.tar.gz *', shell=True)

The question is, is there something else or are these 2 methods correct for this task?

    To archive the current directory to tar/sample.tar.gz :

     import shutil shutil.make_archive('tar/sample', 'gztar')
