R. David Murray added the comment: That would be my guess. If we are reading along and we hit garbage data, we assume we've reached the end of the tar. That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement, or perhaps issuing a warning message about why we think we hit the end of the tar.
What is the issue number of the other issue? If it is still open we should consolidate the issues if appropriate. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27590> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
