Yeah, the TarFile class would fix up the header when the user calls “close”. I
think this is how it was done for ZipFile (implemented in Issue 26039).
Yes currently you would have to build the tarinfo object by hand. I think a
helper function would be nice, but the “TarFile.gettarinfo” method is not a
good place for that. In fact, documenting the default settings for the TarInfo
constructor may be enough. Then you might get away with the following if you
just want a regular file with no specific attributes:
download_tarinfo = TarInfo('index.html')
svgz_tarinfo = TarInfo('image.svg.gz')
