Fixes for the `pack()` and `unpack()` method

[jan-janssen]

@jyang2009 based on our discussion I created a couple of fixes for the pack() and unpack() method. Can you check if these resolve the issues you had with archiving on ptmp?

Hi Jan,

I've tested this fix but got a new error when using the copy_to function. I copy the error below.

@jyang2009 Can you provide a bit more details about the commands you were executing that resulted in this error?

[jyang2009]

Hi Jan,

I just used the code that I used to copy jobs to the new project, which was working previously. pr_archive = Project("archive") job_new = job.copy_to(project=pr_archive)

Hi Jing,

I am sorry for the delay. The error message basically says, that pr_archive is not a recognised data type. You can check the data type using:

type(pr_archive)

My assumption would be it is just a str or a Path object. In those cases you can create a project from it using:

pr_archive=Project(pr_archive)

This should resolve this issue.

Best,

Jan

@samwaseda Originally I was waiting for feedback from @jyang2009 if this solves her problem, as from my side this looks ready to be merged.

Side note: I don't think the csv file should be separated from the tar file, so I will probably remove it entirely in this PR

[samwaseda]

Did this one actually solve the issue @jyang2009 ? Otherwise I would like to revert it because I find it actually pretty dangerous that it looks for the csv file everywhere.

[samwaseda]

@jyang2009 sort of confirmed that the error that she was getting was not related to unpack. So I'm gonna partly revert the changes here.
