tarfile is not able to extract Enron dataset

[pg30]

In lesson 1, after running startup.py and downloading dataset, it gives the following error while extracting it

IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb') or filename: './maildir/blair-l/personnel___promotions/1.'

I think this is because the files are ending with a dot.

can you post a whole screenshot of your issue?

Sure, This is what happens when i run startup.py after the file is downloaded.

checking for nltk
checking for numpy
checking for scipy
checking for sklearn
unzipping Enron dataset (this may take a while)

Basically according to me the problem is in the filenames ending with dot (like 1. , 2.) because i renamed (1. to 1) and when extracted that single file, it got extracted successfully except for others with dot but this is impossible to do for all the files.
I am running ubuntu 20.04

Hi! @pg30 I've ported this ud120 code to python3.8 and jupyter, I've reorganized most of components (e.g. startup script) and fixed some issues. Feel free to take a look at my fork trsvchn/ud120-projects-py3-jupyter.

Hi,
Can someone assist with the problem I'm having running startup.py?
I'm currently running it on python 3.8 and find the screen shot of the error message below:

checking for nltk
checking for numpy
checking for scipy
checking for sklearn
downloading the Enron dataset (this may take a while)
to check on progress, you can cd up one level, then execute <ls -lthr>
Enron dataset should be last item on the list, along with its current size
download will complete at about 423 MB
