[issue21369] Extended modes for tarfile.TarFile()
Lars Gustäbel added the comment: That was a design decision. What would be the advantage of having the TarFile class offer the compression itself? -- assignee: - lars.gustaebel ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21369 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Sworddragon added the comment: The TarFile class provides more options. Alternatively a file object could be used but this means additional code (and maybe IO overhead). -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21369 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Lars Gustäbel added the comment: You can pass keyword arguments to tarfile.open(), which will be passed to the TarFile constructor. You can also use pass fileobj arguments to tarfile.open(). -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21369 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue21369] Extended modes for tarfile.TarFile()
New submission from Sworddragon: tarfile.open() does support optionally an compression method on the mode argument in the form of 'filemode[:compression]' but tarfile.TarFile() does only suport 'a', 'r' and 'w'. Is there a special reason that tarfile.TarFile() doesn't directly support an optional compression method? Otherwise it would be nice if they could be used directly on tarfile.TarFile() too. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 217320 nosy: Sworddragon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Extended modes for tarfile.TarFile() type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21369 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
