Martin Panter added the comment:
David, if you are still interested, I think specific suggestions or patches
would be welcome (even if Lars assigned this to himself five years ago). I also
like the idea of separate low-level and random access layers (I also thought of
this).
One other problem with the documentation of this mode is it points to the
Examples section, but it is not obvious why. The only example specific to
non-seeking mode was removed in r63411, apparently because it was obsolete:
The _only_ way to extract an uncompressed tar stream from “sys.stdin”:
tar = tarfile.open(mode="r|", fileobj=sys.stdin)
for tarinfo in tar:
tar.extract(tarinfo)
