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: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Lars Gustäbel (gustaebel) Assigned to: A.M. Kuchling (akuchling) 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.M.
