Barney Gale <[email protected]> added the comment:
It's possible to do, but will be a little slow due to the nature of tar files.
They're a big linked list of files, so you need to do a bunch of reads/seeks
from the start to the end to enumerate all files.
I'd ask that we try to get issue24132 solved first. That would let us write:
# tarfile.py
class Path(pathlib.AbstractPath):
def iterdir(self):
...
def stat(self):
...
We'd fill in a smallish number of abstract methods to get a full
`Path`-compatible class with `read_text()`, `is_symlink()` etc methods.
