Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment:

Note that there is a way to get fully automated support for tar formats: 
tarfile could expose, in addition to the list compression_formats, another 
structure with the descriptions (e.g. “gzip’ed tar file”) and file extensions 
(e.g. ['.gz', '.tgz'] —no, it’s not '.tar.gz', which is unfortunate, and could 
cause Lars to reject that idea).  I’m just putting this here for reference, but 
my preference is still for the second idea I talk about in my precedent message.
