Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Actually TarFile already works with non-seekable streams. Use TarFile.open() with mode='r|*' or like.
On other hand I'm not against the make non-compressed ZipExtFile seekable. It can be helpful in case when ZIP file is used just as a container for other files. ---------- assignee: -> serhiy.storchaka stage: -> needs patch versions: +Python 3.5 -Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22908> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
