R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

This fix reveals a second bug.  Without this fix, a non-existent file raises an 
IOError with an appropriate error message, but with the chained exception.  
After this fix, it raises an error that says 'not a gzip file', which while 
technically true is not very helpful :)

The correct IOError message only happened by accident in the original code, but 
we need to fix this second bug in order to fix the first one correctly.  I 
suggest that the test case should read:

  with self.assertRaisesRegex("xxx", IOError) as ex:
      tarfile.open("xxx", self.mode)
  self.assertEqual(ex.exception.errno, errno.ENOENT)
