how to download a tarball on github? - Skaperen - Nov-01-2017
does anyone here in the bar know where/how to download a tarball (as opposed to a zip file) of a package/project on github?
RE: how to download a tarball on github? - Larz60+ - Nov-01-2017
Here's something that apparently will create one if one is not offered.
git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gzpypi has links to the tarballs that exist. Many are just zip files
To create a json file with package information, use:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/<packagename>/json
RE: how to download a tarball on github? - Skaperen - Nov-01-2017
so it sends uncompressed .tar and you can compress it? i hope it's not send a zip and converting that to to format. i am thinking of using github but i know some of my packages won't work via zip (it messes up permissions).
got this:
Output:lt1/forums /home/forums 1> git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

I don't think github compresses anything. The individual project would need to have uploaded a tar.

I would actually consider this a discussion rather than a bar thread. Bar i am thinking of nothing to do with programming or even computers even. Where downloading from github has some relativity to python. So i think discussions would be better suited.

So i think discussions would be better suited.i chose bar because it was off-topic. sure, many python coders may be interested. the git command does not appear to be implemented in python, either.

git is so entwined with coding though. And discussion is not discussion about python, but general coding.
but yeah i guess it could go on the fence here

anyway, Larz's command didn't work for me

The first part of my answer was bogus (sorry about that). The second part will give you a json file with details of a package.
In that json data, you'll find release data, which can be contains filename keys, with: filename "speech-0.4.6.tar.gz"
for example. In that node, you will find a url tag containing the complete url for the tar file.
