One of my Python scripts basically does the following:

source.close()
dest.close()
In an attempt to move my Python scripts from Python 2.7 to Python 3.6 I
ran into the problem that under Python 3.6 the call to "dest.close()"
fails:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../tar_archive.copy", line 137, in <module>
dest.close()
File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/tarfile.py", line 1742, in close
self.fileobj.close()
File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/tarfile.py", line 467, in close
self.fileobj.write(self.buf)
TypeError: write() argument must be str, not bytes
In Python 3 `sys.stdout` is a character interface, not bytes.
There are a couple solutions to the Python 3 aspect of the problem here:

If those answers do not work on Python 2 you'll need to detect which version
you are on and act appropriately, perhaps hiding that bit of complexity in a
function or class.
