Vajrasky Kok added the comment: I already have a patch addressing your concerns, Serhiy. But before I upload it here, some questions:
1. "Yes, we can add unencodable tarinfo.linkname later. Just add tests for external tar files." You mean, we need to create a tar file containing unencodable tarinfo.linkname dynamically in the test? Wouldn't modifying testtar.tar be easier? 2. "stdout encoding is just sys.stdout.encoding. Be aware that it can be None (if sys.stdout is StringIO), in that case the encoding/decoding is not needed". from io import StringIO import sys old_stdout = sys.stdout sys.stdout = mystdout = StringIO() import locale print(locale.getpreferredencoding()) sys.stdout = old_stdout print(mystdout.getvalue()) I always get UTF-8. Is there anything I miss? Once I get clarity from these questions, I'll upload the patch.
