Issue #1159051: GzipFile now raises EOFError when reading a corrupted file
with truncated header or footer.
mike mcleod added the comment:
I would like to help with this issue.
I note that when I test against 3.10 this error does not show. Also, all tests
for test_tarfile pass.
I am wondering if it may be reasonable to close this due to the age and
currently its not an issue in the latest Python

Would it be better to use TarError as Sridhar suggested, or create a new class
BadTarfile(TarError, IOError), following the convention used for gzip and
zipfile?

First, gzip should use its own errors: this issue depends on #6584.

Since 6584 is deemed (correctly, IMO) a feature request, this one must
be as well.

New submission from Sridhar Ratnakumar sridh...@activestate.com:
Perhaps this must be wrapped under a programmer-expected custom
exception class (TarError maybe)
for tarinfo in tarfileobj.getmembers():
File /home/apy/ActivePython-2.6/lib/python2.6/tarfile.py, line
1791, in getmembers
