New submission from Phil Jeffes:

On the tarfile page (https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/tarfile.html) there is 
a line which reads:

mode is either 'r' to read from an existing archive, 'a' to append data to an 
existing file, 'w' to create a new file overwriting an existing one or 'x' to 
create a new file only if it’s not exists.

and it should read:

mode is either 'r' to read from an existing archive, 'a' to append data to an 
existing file, 'w' to create a new file overwriting an existing one or 'x' to 
create a new file only if *it does not already exist*.

(Suggested changes surrounded by * *)
