Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Lars Gustäbel (gustaebel) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: misleading info about tarfile.py's "r|*" mode Initial Comment: In the "New, Improved and Removed Modules" section of "What's new in Python 2.5", it is said to be new that a tarfile's compression can be autodetected using mode "r|*". This is not quite right. New about the "r|*" mode is that it can autodetect compression of a tarfile opened in *stream mode* which was not possible before. Attached is a patch against whatsnew25.tex in current SVN HEAD. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1529811&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
