Aye, I agree that changing the default resolves the feature request here. I've recategorised this as a documentation issue, as the initial PR only changed the `tarfile` documentation, so the impact on `shutil` isn't obvious. So the changes needed will be: * add a "What's New" entry for shutil, noting that shtuil.make_archive inherited the change in default archive format from tarfile * corresponding "version changed" note in the shutil.make_archive documentation An addition to the "Porting" section in What's New may also be needed, depending on how tarfile.Tarfile behaves if you tell it to open a PAX_FORMAT archive using GNU_FORMAT or vice-versa (tarfile.open and shutil.unpack_archive will be fine, since they query the file's own metadata to find out which format to use) ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation -Library (Lib) nosy: +docs@python stage: patch review -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue30661> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
