Michael K Johnson <a1237+pyb...@danlj.org> added the comment: OK, not intended for "everyday use"; I understand this as meaning that it is considered primarily an internal interface, and thus one that has an explicitly unstable API. It is hard for me to guess that this would be the case, since this intent is not documented in the docstrings or comments of either TarFile.__init__() or TarFile.open()
If I'm understanding you correctly, this could be considered a documentation bug; perhaps the docstring for TarFile.__init__() could suggest using the open() method, except possibly within TarFile subclasses? Sorry to be so confused here. I hope I'm finally converging on understanding... Anyway, thanks for the help! ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6254> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
