Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: 2.7 is closed to new features. This looks like it mignt be one. The 2.7 doc for tarfile.open says "Return a TarFile object for the pathname name." Does the meaning of 'pathname' in 2.7 generally include unicode as well as str objects? (It is not in the Glossary.)
> The error does not occur under Python 3 (even with non-ascii characters), so > it should be possible to create a tarfile with a unicode filename on Python > 2.7. Python 3 has many new features that are not in 2.7, so 'possible' is not exactly the point ;-). ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13639> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
