There is a proposition to add a command line interface to tarfile module. It will be useful on platforms where tar is not included in the base system.

The question is about interface. Should it be a subset of tar options (-t as --extract, -t as --list, -f to specify an archive name) or be similar to the zipfile module interface (-e as --extract, -l as --list, the first positional parameter is an archive name)? There are different opinions.
