This is more easy than I could imagined :-)
It is in my Python notes, now.

Yes. I have no own modules. Just one program file.

The reason: I have no ideas on classes :-}
Of course, I should have to learn about, but until now it was not necessary.
The other solutions in this thread are sufficent for me.
Meanwhile I have implemented the iterator function:
taro.extractall(members=itar(taro),path=edir)
def itar(tar):
for ti in tar:
# minimal protection against dangerous file names
# see http://bugs.python.org/issue21109#msg215656
ti.name = subst(r'^(?i)([a-z]:)?(\.\.)?[/\\]','',ti.name)
print('untar "%s"' % ti.name)
yield ti
Perfekt solution for me :-)
Thanks to all.

Yes, a good idea.
