Lars Gustäbel <l...@gustaebel.de> added the comment: I think this is a reasonable proposal. I think it is good style to let tarfile figure out which supported compression methods are available instead of shutil or the user. So far I have no objections.
Following 3.3's crypt module, I think the name `methods' is superior to `formats' (maybe `compression_methods' is even better). Also, crypt's concept of a sorted list from stronger to weaker could also make sense here: ["xz", "bz2", "gz"]. Why not? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14013> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
