New submission from Patrik Dufresne:
When using tarfile.open(mode='w|gz'), the compression level is hard-coded to 9.
Seed _Stream._init_write_gz():
self.zlib.compressobj(9,
1. In regards to zlib, I would start by replacing the value of 9 by
zlib.Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. This is the default value and zipfile is using it.
Why using something different.
2. Then, I would also love to control the compression level when calling
tarfile.open()
