New submission from Thom Wiggers: The tarfile.is_tarfile() function only supports opening from paths. However, the `Tarfile` class also supports opening from `fileobj`s. It would be useful if the is_tarfile function would also accept those.
For reference, this is the current implementation: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/fcc3915a266b6cd220483c7020de0d71e293b2cb/Lib/tarfile.py#L2432 ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 286869 nosy: twiggers priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Allow to pass fileobj to is_tarfile type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29435> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
