Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: I think it is helpful to read the pax specification here:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/pax.html pax defines (IIUC) that all strings in a pax-compliant tar file are UTF-8 encoded. For the "invalid" option, they offer the alternatives bypass, rename, UTF-8, and write. It may be useful to provide the same options, in some form. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8390> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
